On Wednesday 22nd March, our U11 girls were victorious in their IAPS netball qualifier at Wellington College. They played superbly, holding their nerves and coping under pressure whilst really working beautifully as a team They won all of their pool matches, placing them in the cup competition. They then beat Chesham Prep in the quarter finals, Lambrook in the semi’s and went on to beat Bishopsgate in the final gaining them a place in the national finals at Rugby School in March. You really were fantastic ambassadors for Godstowe and we couldn’t be prouder of you girls!
