Highfields Netball Miss Tabbenor wanted to say a huge well done to the year 7 & 8 netball team. You all have improved so much over the short time training together this year, the determination you all had going into each game, the consistency of turning up each week to practice and supporting one another so you can all be the best you can, was incredible to see each week. The year 7 team - you amazed me on the resilience you had from starting with a few defeats to becoming unbeatable yourselves, a special mention to Phoebe R the captain of this team for always encouraging your team to get the win in each game. The Year 8’s - well, first of all what a team you are! From only losing one game from September until March is astonishing, you have such a great team bond and the encouragement and fight you show on court is a pleasure to watch, a special mention to Freya R the captain of this team for always being so supportive of your team and encouraging your team to be the best that they can be. Unfortunately we didn’t get to show our great work at the County Tournament this year, but we did have a great result in the Local Netball Tournament finishing 2nd place and losing the final by 1 goal. If you didn’t manage to catch yourselves on Sky sports during the ‘National Sports Week’ your Netball Video was showed, which is a great achievement and you all should be so proud of yourselves for making it on to Sky Sports. I am so incredibly proud of you all and all your achievements and you make Highfields proud, I can’t wait to hopefully see you all back on the court in September, but until then I hope you have a great Summer holidays and keep safe. Miss Tabbenor
Be the best you can
