On Wednesday 15th October 8 Girls travelled to Aberdour school in Tadworth. We arrived at Aberdour and got settled and set up for a fun afternoon of netball. We were told it’s a versatility match, which means all girls will rotate positions and be put out of their comfort zones and playing in positions they have never played before which was a challenging but great way to build their confidence in the sport.
The girls were given their bibs and were ready to play with 7 aside and one player resting.
GK – GD – WD – C – (Rest) WA – GA – GS
Our first match was against Aberdour and we started off the match really fighting for the ball but conceding 2 goals to 1. At half time the girls rotated to their next position and had a pep talk with Miss Lomax and started the second half with amazing work, winning back the ball and winning overall 5-3 to Oakhyrst. Once the match was finished the girls did player of the match and chose Eliza B.
Our second match was against Mickelfield and both teams really fought for the ball and the first half ended 3-3 which was incredibly close. The second half we played beautifully and ended up shooting 2 more goals and it ended 5 – 3 to Oakhyrst. The chosen player of the match was Sienna O.
After the tournament we sat down and found out that Oakhyrst won their section and came out with top points and brought home gold medals.
Super proud teacher of all girls who took part in the tournament. You all did an amazing job!
