Netball vs 5ways

U12c

The U12C team did exceptionally well to play against a strong U13 5ways team on Friday night. The courts were buzzing with excitement as 4 teams gave it there all in glorious sunshine.

It was excellent to have a game in the Summer Term, and I know that many of the girls are planning on keeping up their netball fitness this term.

We had a tough first quarter, but played exceptionally well in the 2nd and last quarter, practising what we had learnt last term and trying out some set plays for the first time.

Well done to all those who played – it was a great learning experience.

U13B/12A

U13c

The U13C Netball team squeezed in one more match last Friday versus 5ways. It was a glorious sunny evening, and the team played some outstanding netball.

Roedean was in control the whole game, building on their lead quarter by quarter. Our defensive unit was on fire, with big turnovers that were successfully transferred through court by our mid court players. Some extremely accurate shooting at the other end allowed us to capitalise on our turnovers.

The final score was 17-7 to Roedean. Congratulations to Athena who was named Opposition's Player, and Claudia who was Coache's Player. Also, a big thank you to Alicia who stepped in last minute to help this squad out! Well done all.

On Friday night, we had a mixed U13B and U12A Netball match against 5ways Netball Club. It was a fantastic night of Netball, with a lovely sunset as the backdrop.

With the two teams combined, it took the players a few quarters to find their rhythm, and Roedean were only 2 goals ahead going into half-time. Lois played out of position as a shooter, but, with Sophie alongside her, they were able to start pulling us into the lead. Maud, Flo, and Naomi played very well in defence and were turning the ball over regularly. Maddie also played out of position in WA, and, along with Yasmin in the centre court, they were able to bring the ball down the court well.

After finding their feet in the second half, they won the game 20-12, and Sophie was named MVP.
