Y11 Netball vs Colyton

This week the Year 11 Netball squad were back into their league after the new year break with a match against Colyton Grammar School.

Year 11 played well in a close contest on the courts. It was a bitter cold evening at home, the year 11’s did a long warm up and under armours were on to keep them warm in the cold conditions.

Colyton started strong and got the first goal, it was a close first half – Colyton were edging away with a 7-10 lead at half time. After a good team talk we needed to keep tight in mid court play and offer options, giving more movements to each other around the court. The girls listened well and their set plays were connecting well and were pulling the score back as the game went on. Poppy and Amy in the bitter cold were shooting well, Amy netted some tricky shots from the edge of the D and the double duo of Amy and Poppy combination was on fire and they were pulling the score back each quarter. Brooke had some great turnovers keeping us in the game mid court and having a strong impact all over the court, pushing her fitness to the max. Shola and Molly were working hard mid court to keep options open and driving in front of players.

Karly and Grace in defence were busy and worked hard till the final whistle. The action was end to end with a few minutes to go the score was drawing 16 all.

In the nail biting final minutes Colyton netted goals to make the final score of a Colyton win 19-17.

This was a game where all girls rose to the challenge. It was a tough game of Colyton tall players and talent. Our girls worked hard and played some brilliant set plays and movement of the ball. A disappointing end score as we were so close to the win but a fantastic achievement and good display of netball by the Year 11 squad.

Well done girls.

Next week we are due to play Kings.
This will be the final league game for the Year 11 squad.
