U15A Netball Secure Silver at St Teresa’s Versatility Tournament
With our Year 11s away on a trip, seven of our U15A players stepped up to compete in the St Teresas U16 Versatility Tournament on Wednesday 25 February. Facing two strong Year 11 teams from St Teresas and Sutton High, the girls showed impressive confidence, fitness and adaptability.
In the opening match against Sutton High, ND defended brilliantly, turning over the ball repeatedly and adapting well to rotating through every position. After trailing narrowly 2 to 3, the team produced an exceptional second quarter to lead 6 to 3 at half time and went on to win 9 to 5.
Their second match was a tougher challenge against a tall and experienced St Teresas squad. Despite being 9 to 4 down at half time, ND fought hard and drew the second half 2 to 2. The final score was 11 to 6, a strong result against older opposition.
Congratulations to Martha T, Annabelle L and Emma J, named Most Valuable Players by the opposition. Well done also to Poppy O, Daisy P, Bea C and Steph W, who all played brilliantly.
A fantastic achievement and a well deserved silver medal for our U15A team.
