After a tough tour we faced our final netball opposition. The girls were raring to go and confident they could win. We headed off with high spirits to play Burnaby.
It was a close game and after the first quarter we were one goal ahead, but the competition was tough. With some fantastic defence from Ellie Buxton and Rebecca Dunne we were able to hold onto our one goal lead in the next two quarters.
In the final quarter out shooting partnership of Millie Mccaughrean and Ellie Parrott came into their own scoring some brilliant goals, finishing the game at 14-9. Their was a tremendous roar as the final whistle went.
Hugs and kisses were the order of the day!
The second team faced some tough opposition but played with energy and enthusiasm. They were able to hold Burnaby to a close game and they should be congratulated on their performance, not only in tonight's game but everyone this tour.
The girls were given a wonderful opportunity to meet several members of the Canadian national netball team who are currently training for the world netball series.
Congratulations should go to all of our girls, they have been been faced with tough opposition in both hockey and netball and they have proudly represented themselves and the school at every opportunity. They have gained much experience which can be taken to the training field next year.
The staff are all incredibly proud of the girls achievements and attitudes throughout this tour, Well done, girls!
