Huge well done to our amazing Year 8 Netballers for a fantastic performance in the last tournament of the season. We are so proud of Maia U, Rosa D, Grace C, Phoebe H, Sienna W, Molly H, Freya S, Rosalie T, Faith R, Gigi C, Lydia Y and Lola M.

Also a HUGE thank you to two year 9 students Scarlett G & Biba D who have helped with all netball tournaments this year by helping with scoring and timekeeping, without them all the tournaments would not have run as smoothly

Nine secondary schools came together to compete in this tournament which was fantastic to see. The tournament was set out in two pools due to the number of teams entered. Cowes Girls did a fantastic job and managed to win three out of the four games narrowly missing out on winning the pool by one goal against Ryde School who were a tough opposition.

Once both pools had competed each other this moved onto the playoff rounds where winners from each pool played against each other, second place from each pool played against each other and so on

Cowes girls came 2nd in the pool therefore were playing for 3rd or 4th position against The Island Free School. With sunlight disappearing and a battle between each school, Cowes girls again just narrowly missed out on 3rd place by one goal which gave them an excellent 4th place overall

The girls sportsmanship and hard work showed during their games and they represented themselves and the school superbly They cheered all teams and should be super proud of how far they have come

We couldn’t be more proud of them, well done!
