NETBALLERS WIN LEAGUE: PERFECT RECORD!

Dear Parents, Carers and Grandparents,

 

I wish to draw your attention to the wonderful, (no!) ‘Perfect’ season of our hardworking girl netballers and their coaching team this year. I have run sports associations for most of my career and never witnessed a phenomenon such as this. Netball is one of the NDPSSA’S biggest competitions with fifteen schools competing throughout the year for three Newark titles. Look at this:

 

  1. Unbeaten in any competition in 35 games!
  2. NDPSSA Autumn Champions 2013/14 (B team Runners up!)
  3. NDPSSA  Spring Champions 2013/14
  4. NDPSSA LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 2013/14:

If you add in the number of weekend tournament matches unbeaten, you get this record for the season:

Never seen this before in any school sport, probably never again. No stars, no six footers, just a fabulous squad and team whose netball is fluid, everybody running off everyone else, to receive and pass from end to end. Their net opportunities against goals scored % compares favourably to the statistics of any adult national league team.

The Team and coaches are:

Abbie Mofoot    Libby Johnson    Ebony Smith   Millie Warren  Mia Lloyd  

Lylah Hall    Rosie Pitchford   Laura Kelly   Mollie Hill     Sheena Kelly   Sarah Gore

 

 

Out there all year training hard every Tuesday night, taking nothing for granted and playing in a friendly, sporting manner. What an amazing year and thank you to you all. The school and I hope the community too will join with me in saying how immensely proud we are of you. A truly amazing season for a great group of girls.
