School Games Netball Heats 2018

We took 2 teams to St Thomas More to try and qualify for the Finals.  Both teams worked very hard and played some fantastic Netball.  On the day there were some very strong and experienced teams which made it hard for our teams who hadn't had much experience in playing competitive netball.  However, one team came very close to qualifying with 2 wins out of 4.  The teams will be back next year with more experience and just as much enthusiasm!

Following a festival at Fairfield High School on the 9th March where children were coached and played games with other schools we then travelled to Great Academy Ashton on Friday 16th March to try to qualify for the finals. All 3 teams we took played well, with one team winning their last game after making fantastic improvements across their 3 teams and another of our teams agonisingly missing out on the final on points difference to Airlies.

Well Done!
