Netball at Scarisbrick Hall School Year 5 & 6 Netball Reported by: Miss Paterson & Miss Markey The Netball season opened with a High 5 Tournament held at Ormskirk High School at the beginning of October. The pupils were well prepared for the Tournament with all of them showing their dedication attending both lunch time and after school practices. The girls played various teams such as St. Johns, Lordsgate, Town Green and St. Michaels. The pupils battled hard playing 9 games, winning all their games and managed to secure a place in the final. They fought hard and played tremendously well as a team with great passing, moving and dodging but were defeated in the final and overall finished in second place, of which the team and I were both very proud. Congratulations to all the team members and what a great start to the season, well done Grace Worth, Ellie Leigh, Lottie Parks, Maisy Littler, Faye Baymen, Sian Chapman, Lottie Parkes, Grace Simpson, and Niamh Jefferson. Year 5/6 Netball League The year 5/6 team has been moved to the North Southport area schools this term, playing schools such as St Patricks, Churchtown, Larkfield, Marshside and St Johns. Our first league game of the year was against St. Patricks where we played two games. The girls showed fantastic teamwork, some skilful interception and outwitting their opponents, they communicated and worked hard during both games, their hard work in lessons and practices had paid off, they won the first game 5-2 and the second game 5-1. This gave the girls even more drive and determination to train hard and continue to practice. The next game was against Churchtown primary, but due to re-scheduling of the game not all team members were able to play. This therefore provided a much tougher challenge. The pupils played very well with many pupils in year 5 playing against a year 6 Churchtown team. The girls stayed positive and worked hard throughout the game but Churchtown provided to be the stronger team. The pupils were a credit to school, and our year 5 players showed some fantastic potential. The rest of the games are due to be played in the new year and I would like to wish the team the best of luck for their remaining matches. U16 ISA Netball Repo
