Yesterday the year 7 A, B and C teams competed in the District Netball Tournament at Roundwood Park School.
The year 7 C team played some fantastic netball, with Jordan Adams and Mia Pullara making some excellent interceptions. The whole team worked well together and experienced playing in a variety of positions. The C team finished in 5th place in their pool.
The year 7 B team battled some fierce competition winning 3 of their 5 matches. Kuljinder Johal and Charlotte Pether worked well together in the shooting circle and tucked away goal after goal. The B team narrowly missed out on going through to the B team semi-finals and finished 3rd in their pool.
The year 7 A team played some outstanding netball throughout the tournament. They breezed through the A team pool matches, losing only one of their games to Beaumont. They went through to the semi-finals as runners up. Their next competition was St Albans High School, who had one all of their games so far in the tournament. The Sandringham A team then had the game of their lives with fantastic shooting from Chloe Nichol, Emily Caswell and Jasmine Fisher and some exceptional interceptions by Abi Charnock. Sandringham had beaten the High School 7-6 and were going through to the District Final! In the final, Sandringham again faced Beaumont. After a nail biting first half the score was 4-3 to Beaumont but Sandringham were making a comeback. Chloe Pettengell battled against tough opposition and sent the ball into our shooting circle where Emily Caswell put away her shot. The game was tied 4-4. Beaumont made a quick break and managed to take the lead in the last minute of the game. Sandringham made a desperate effort to get the ball back down our end but there just wasn’t enough time and the game finished 5-4 to Beaumont. A superb effort by the whole team and an astonishing achievement to finish runners up in the District Final.
A huge congratulations and thanks to all the girls who represented the school and played some brilliant netball.
