U15B Netball
This season was never going to be easy for the girls. With numbers being low, teams changed frequently and so it was only in the later stages of the season when the girls started to play more frequently together, that they saw some successes. Matches began against tough opponents, but the girls always gave their all and constantly tried to implement what they had been practising in training and in games lessons into matches. The first win was perhaps unexpected after recruiting girls from younger years to make up numbers. Incredibly the girls gelled with the team and provided a great deal of energy and enthusiasm. The final score against Dauntsey’s was 27-20, after Hannah Elton-Dobbin and Anna-Maria Shenouda scored some excellent goals in very cold and wintery conditions. The girls followed this match with a second home win against local rivals HCS. Thanks to the early start, Abigail Woodcock was able to play and proved to be a very valuable member of the team, scoring some great goals along with Hannah, and rewarding the team with their second win.
Played: 8 Won: 2 Drew: 0 Lost: 6
The girls unfortunately did not experience any more wins, but played some fantastic netball against Lord Wandsworth and Canford, demonstrating just how far they had come during the season. Roma Creedon and Alice Dean proved themselves to be particularly agile on court and Roma was given ‘Player of the Match’ on two occasions which was very well deserved. My thanks go to Hannah Elton-Dobbin for being a very organised captain, who never ceased to stop encouraging the girls both on and off court.
