NETBALL 1st VII Senior netball began in the Spring Term with only two Colours — Jenifer Swallow and Heidi Clark — remaining from the previous season. The girls soon settled down with a committed team spirit and the only position that caused some doubt were those of the shooters. Philly Bundy played excellently in some 2nd VII fixtures but as Rowena Smith and Emma Cox had played together for two previous seasons they worked well as a pair and stayed together for the 1st team. Rowena made good use of any space afforded her by the defence and Emma made good progress throughout the season. It was unfortunate that Margaret Wood began the year with a broken toe as she too was in contention for a 1st team place. The first match against Barnard Castle was easily won but then we faced more difficult opposition with Scarborough College whom we narrowly beat 17-15. On January 29th we managed to field four senior teams, with most of those on the netball option playing if they wanted to. As neither Bootham nor Durham were particularly strong a mixed lst/2nd team was selected for both Schools, with the 3rd's playing Bootham and 4th's Durham. All teams won so it was a successful first outing for some of the players! The following two matches were easily won and then a well-contested game was played against York Vlth Form College. The College had five county players in their team but the girls played with real determination and were ahead in every quarter. Unfortunately whilst leading by three goals in the third quarter Jenifer fell and badly twisted her ankle. She made an excellent goalkeeper, helped not only by her height but also in having quick anticipation to intercept loose balls. The match continued with six players until Olivia Cameron was summonsed from the shower! The final result showed us losing by three goals. Jenifer was missing from the following games during that month, and this had an effect on the Worksop result, although play was not improved by the very wet and slippery conditions. Jenifer was ably assisted in defence by Rachel Owen-Barnett who has played all positions in her time at School from shooter through to defence. Belonging to a club that plays local league netball has greatly improved her game. The centre court players of Heidi Clark, Katy Pittman and Danielle Powley played well together with Heidi nearly always free to take the passes. She also did well to be selected to play for the York and District team. Danielle showed excellent marking skills and intercepted with speed whilst Katy always managed to find space to move into, even when everyone else was in a heap!
1994 marked the first year of the Girls' Inter-House Swimming Competition, which was a great success. My congratulations go to all the Houses who managed to enter a swimmer in every race without exception. This was a fine achievement, given that some of the Houses have very few girls, who do any swimming whatsoever, within School. It was a pleasant surprise to see just how determined the girls were to succeed for their House teams. Certainly their competitive spirits came rushing to the fore. There were some excellent races in all the strokes, with some particularly close finishes and fast times in the freestyle. As usual, the relays proved very exciting, with teams producing good times which will set the standard for future years, and will be hard to beat. Results: (T) L. Hoggard J. Toms (C) K.
