Wonderful win for the U11 netball team

The U11 netball team - winners of the Sevenoaks Prep Tournament

 

A superb display of netball by our U11 team brought them victory in the Sevenoaks Prep Netball Tournament, for the third year in a row.

The team participated in a round robin event which included five other local Prep Schools.  First they played and beat Walthamstow Hall 8-2, then went straight back on to thrash Combe Bank 15-0.  This meant they were scoring more than one goal per minute!  Our third match was against Hilden Oaks, where our opposition was tougher, but we continued to play confidently and won 7-3.  We then went on to play a very close match against Sevenoaks Prep.  After failing to score early on, we went 2-0 down, but fought back to win the match 4-3.  It was an incredibly close game with all our parents and Mrs Parkes biting their nails at the end!  Our last match was against Russell House and by now our confidence was flowing as well as out netball.  We closed this match with a 12-0 victory.

By the end of the tournament Hilden Grange headed the league table and had won the tournament outright.  The team effort was superb and it was wonderful to see how each girl worked together and played as a team.  Each and every one of them played their position as it should be played.  Their centre pass set play was outstanding and so fast it was hard to keep up with the number of goals that was being scored!

 A final WELL DONE to all seven of our girls and congratulations to their three years in a row winning the Sevenoaks Prep Tournament at U9, U10 and finally U11 level.
