Karamu A Netball

2020 has been a different experience in the Super 12 netball competition for both the old and new players in the team. Covid-19 was a big factor in our game time this year. Through all the lockdowns and restrictions, the girls have done well to overcome and push through and play on court. With four new players in the team, we needed to start integrating them as soon as possible as we only had 10 games to play. The girls were dealt a bad hand this year being their first year in the team but they managed to make the most of their game time and make a difference on court when needed. Going into the second round of games, the girls were more prepared and ready to play teams they had not yet played, and some teams that we faced earlier in the competition. The second round of games allowed for the girls to play against teams that were pretty even on the playing field against us. This gave the team a push to better ourselves, without the upset of a bad loss. Although there were some losses throughout the season, the girls continued to get up and try again. Through a few run ins with William Collenso this season, we were able to redeem ourselves and face them in finals playing for first and second of the second division. It was a long game that had the spectators on the edge of their seats throughout the whole game. It was neck and neck throughout the whole game but we were able to pull though in the last few minutes with a 2-point win. Winning the second division has set the girls in a good place to start playing again next year and hopefully move onto bigger things. A big thank you to Miss Primmer for coaching us this year and to Mrs Crawford for being the Manager, you two make a great pair. 2021 is going to be exciting.
