Match Day Programme Girls’ Netball vs Plymouth College Saturday 12 February 2022 Follow us
@ExeterSchoolUK @ExSchSports
Welcome to our opponents We are looking forward to our final weekend of sport this half term and are delighted to welcome our friends from Plymouth College for four netball fixtures. It has been a busy two weeks of netball for the Exeter squads with mid-week blocks against Blundell’s and a weekend block last Saturday against Mount Kelly. I know that Miss Johnson (Head of Netball) has been delighted that so many senior girls have participated and that the school has been able to field five senior sides for the first time! We look forward to more senior netball action after half term. Today it is the turn of our junior ‘A’ teams (U15A, U14A, U13A and U12A) and we hope that everyone involved enjoys some competitive fixtures and they are great fun and an excellent way to round off an exciting half term of school netball. We are also delighted to welcome parents and spectators from both schools and encourage them to actively support all the pupils, regardless of their team, with equal enthusiasm and respect. We politely ask them to support the umpires; many of whom give up their time to enable the occasions to take place. I am sure that you will enjoy watching and we wish everyone involved in today’s fixtures the very best of luck and hope they enjoy their fixtures and visit to Exeter School.
