Year 9/10 Netball
On the 7th of July the Year 9/10 netball team left for a four day SISS Junior Netball tournament in Christchurch. We won 2 out of 3 of our pool games which meant that we had made the top 16. In cross over play we had a win against Menzies which meant that we were playing off for 9th-12th. We had a tough final game against Mt Aspiring and lost 24-17 which made us 12th overall. It was a great tournament and we played some good quality netball. It was certainly a learning curve coming up against a zone defence for the first time and having to adapt to lots of teams having boys playing.
Grace Newport was voted player of tournament by the team and Lacey Wallace was voted team mate of the tournament. Emma Kinzett took Pretzel home by winning the sticker chart competition while Salote Fifita was crowned the winner of Oscar for her numerous oopsies during the tournament.
We would like to thank Katrina and Amie for being amazing managers and getting everything organised for us, Karla for being our team physio, Mrs Newport for coaching us and to all the parents that came and supported us. Special thanks to Mrs Brennan and Miss Cullen for coming and watching us.
