Netball ‘A’ Squad

Match 3 v Not Blazers - Score: Not Blazers: 32 SHS: 16

After a change of schedule, today’s match was against the Under-16 Bajan national squad, Not Blazers. This was the toughest match so far, with the national side’s elevation and skills surpassing ours. However, we put up a good fight, especially our defence with Hannah Davies our man of the match.

Match 4 v Silverhill - Score: Silverhill: 12 SHS: 30

Today’s match was against a club team, in a local community. We dominated the match as their game was a similar style to that of our own. Special mention goes to Ashni, who played up into the 1^st team today and who held her own in centre court. Also to Sara, our man of the match who made some fantastic interceptions!

Netball ‘B’ Squad

Match 4 v Silverhill - Score: Silverhill: 26 SHS: 4

The attack fought through today, working well with the defence in order to defeat the opposition. The match was well supported by the locals as it was held within the community, which made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed both the stamina and the rapid pace of the game, making it a fun experience for us all!

Match 5 v Vauxhall - Score: Vauxhall: 6 SHS: 14

This match was the last match for many team members, so everyone in the squad gave it their all. Strife to succeed was displayed across all of the players’ faces, with the determination paying off with yet another win! Levels of interceptions were high and the shooting skills accurate, allowing us to dodge our way to victory!

Hockey

Match 3 – Score: Opposition: 5 SHS: 1

Match 3 brought tough opposition, which produced some good hockey, but a disappointing result! Cassie scored a corker to bring us level near the start, but even with some great saves from our ‘man-of-the-match’ goalkeeper Thea, and despite our best efforts, we ended up losing 5-1.

Match 4 – Score: Opposition: 4 SHS: 0

The penultimate match saw us play the same international players we have come across before and unfortunately the result was much the same with a 4-0 loss. Today was not the best we’ve ever played, but it did see a star appearance from Mrs Davidson herself. ‘Man-of-the-match’ status went to our fabulous captain Becky, who kept up team spirits and who played some cracking hockey!

Match 5 – Score: Opposition: 0 SHS: 1

With our final match in Barbados also being many of the players’ last match ever for the school, the team was literally popping with enthusiasm and a massive desire to win! We tried a different formation with 4 players up front and it obviously worked, because our goalie, Thea, didn’t touch the ball once! We had quite a few shots on goal, only managing to score once. One goal was enough to win us the match though, and the goal, scored by Ibbo, was simply fantastic! ‘Man-of-the-match’ went to Issy who, everyone will agree, played exceedingly well, managing to dodge past all their defenders! WELL DONE EVERYONE! What a great tour!
