Challenging Games

The U11A team headed off to Oakham to join Trent College for a triangular. We selected to play both schools at U12A level and it was a wonderful, very beneficial afternoon of Netball. 

We made a very strong start against Oakham scoring the first 2 goals of the match.  We played three 7minute thirds to replicate the short games at Nationals. We were drawing 3-3 after the first, winning 7-6 after the second and slipped behind in the final to end 9-14. The girls played some wonderful netball and had to work really hard against much taller girls. We defended so well and the Oakham teacher even commented on how much the girls showed they really wanted it. 

We then played two 5 minutes against Trent College. We took the lead in the first 2-0 and we managed to hold strong and finish with a 3-3 draw which was a superb end. 

We need a challenge to keep learning and progressing and it made the girls have to rethink some skills and make sure the basics were strong. 

Apologies for the lack of a photo, we were too engrossed in the netball!
