U11 ISA Regional Netball Championships
On a very wet Friday morning, the A team headed off to the ISA regional Championships at Lingfield School. We were full of nerves but raring to go. Our first game was against Oakfield, which we won, scoring an amazing 10 goals. This gave us the confidence we needed for the rest of the tournament. The rain didn’t stop us and we went on to win the next 3 games 16-0, 9-0 and 9-0, without conceding a single goal as our defence was amazing.
We went into the quarter-finals top of our group. We played The Mead, which proved our toughest match, drawing 5-5, meaning we had to go to golden goal. A great interception by Bea meant the ball headed for our net and with the perfect set up from Annabel, Georgie scored to win the match. The semi-final saw us win 13-1 with some excellent play by everybody, taking us through to the final. The final was a great, but very close match against Lingfield. Strong teamwork and excellent communication helped us to win 5-3, making us the U11 ISA Regional Champions and we will go on to represent London South at the national finals in March.
Well done to everyone but many thanks to Mrs Curling as without your amazing coaching we never would have won! Georgie

On Thursday, we played Hazelwood. Sadly, we lost 7-5. It was a hard match and we tried our very best. Evie made a good attempt to get the ball to our side. Olivia was centre and Kiki was goal defence defender. They both played with so much energy. Our team made a great effort. We may not have won, but we didn't give up! We hope we will win next time.
