2022 has been another successful year for Havelock North High School netball . We have been well represented in Hawke ’ s Bay netball having ten teams entered into the local competition . Fortunately , the season has had less disruptions than previous years and the whole season was able to be played . It was very pleasing to see many of our teams make finals or 3rd / 4th play offs . Unfortunately , none of our teams won any grades . parents , teachers and students who have coached or managed a team : Julie and Arona WIlliams , Amanda Onekawa , Nicky Johnson , Bridget Broadhurst , Tammy Bishop , Tess McSherry , Felicity Potoe , Karen Moore , Vanessa Harrison , Helen Tasker , Katie Green , Paulina Wilhelm , Janette Cook , Sue Brebner , Aysha Voosen- Chong and Lola Kidd . The time and effort they put into practices , games , and management of players is exceptional . We appreciate all your help this season .
Netball Highlights for 2022 include : Our Senior A team managing to finish in the top four teams in the Super 12 competition and beating William Colenso in the 3rd / 4th play off to finish 3rd in a tough grade . Other highlights included our Senior B and Senior C teams getting second in their respective grades . Lower North Island Tournament week was run for the first time since 2019 which was very exciting for our Senior A players after missing out for two years . The tournament was run in the first week of September at Mitre 10 Park and is an exciting opportunity to face fresh teams and to be able to compare ourselves against the other regions . Our team is in the top grade and managed to get 20th in this grade out of a competitive 32 teams . We appreciate our management team of Julie and Arona Williams and Amanda Onekawa for all they do in the pre season , in season and at tournament week . This season we send off four players that have played important roles in the Senior A for a number of years and they will be dearly missed : Elle Lovatt , Jess White , Keiryn Rowe and Sophia Langford .
We have been so lucky to have so many competent umpires in the Senior A and Senior B netball teams who have umpired all our Saturday games when required . Thank you so much for your efforts as we wouldn ’ t be able to have the teams we do without you ! To the girls - you should be proud of your achievements this year . As with any sport there are always the highs and the lows . We look forward to seeing you at netball trials in 2023 !
