Under 10B Throughout the term there are several girls who consistently played very well. Georgia Bibby’s netball skills improved enormously during the term and in every match she put 100% effort into her defending. In the central part of the court Annie Livermore also improved over the season becoming a very quick player who threw accurately and always caught the ball. These good ball skills enabled her to become a good link between the defending and the attacking end of the court. Every girl who represented the team this season tried her hardest in all of the matches, and they should all be proud of themselves.

The results from the Under 10B team matches do not reflect how the girls played this season. During games lessons they worked hard, practising their ball skills, passing accurately and catching well. They also played a lot of matches against the Under 10A team which enabled them to practise working as a team. Unfortunately for our girls the sides they played against this term were all of a very high standard. However, this did not stop us fighting for the ball during every match. Towards the end of the term the girls started to gain more confidence and play even better. We narrowly lost against Old Hall and enjoyed a good game against Ellesmere College.

Our first match was against Terra Nova where we played high five netball - this is a version of the game where there are five positions and the girls rotate throughout the game. The girls picked the game up really well and played as a strong team. The format also gave us the chance to try different positions that we would not normally play in, which meant we saw Chloe Edwards shine as a Goal Shooter, Romy Grigg and Theodora Jarvis defend well and Talullah Blackham work hard as a Centre. Our next match was against Old Hall where we played a full 7 a-side match. In this match the girls again worked well as a team and adapted well to having players on the wings too. Our shooters, Freya Beasley and Talullah Blackham were again on fine form managing to receive the ball from the other players and helping each other get it through the net. Ellie Mason and Lottie Clarke shared the positions of Centre and Wing Attack, attacking well and not letting their markers get between them and the ball. Our last match was against Prestfelde where the girls switched back to high five netball. We rotated the positions and it was great to see that since the beginning of term our confidence had grown and that we were willing and able to play any position on the court. We played some lovely, flowing netball thanks to fantastic footwork and excellent team work.
Well done girls. Another super season, full of energy and fun. It has been a pleasure to teach you and again I am very proud of you. Good luck next year! Team: Romy Grigg, Chloe Edwards, Ellie Mason, Freya Beasley, Imogen Downey, Charlotte Clarke, Talullah Blackham, Theodora Jarvis. KE

4-1
There was only one fixture for the Under 8s this season but we really made the most of the opportunity to play a competitive game. We played very well as a team and, with some fantastic passing from all and some superb shooting from Olivia Moir and Sophia Bureau, we went on to win. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the match and it was a good experience for them. Well done girls and good luck next year! Team: Zephia Barlow-Evans, Sophia Bureau, Anna Cowan, Louisa Jarvis, Georgia Krannreuther, Olivia Moir, Seren Pattinson, Zara Vickers. KE Page 81
