Netball Report - West Lodge vs Harris Garrard
This netball game was quite important as if we won, we would go to the Youth Games which is a very big competition where each borough would have one school who would play for them. Our netball team went over to Bexley Grammar School to play this game, the other team were very good, and it was a hard match for both sides. Harris Garrard were winning 3-1 after the first quarter which lasted 6 minutes but we kept going and never gave up. We showed resilience and teamwork a lot in this match, and I think our coach can agree that we all played brilliantly.
After the second quarter it was 3-3. We used so many skills and the people who were off showed so much support and gave us advice. After the third quarter it was 4-5 to us, at this point we were out of breath, but we supported everyone on the team, and we were now determined to win. In the end we won 5-9. We were so ecstatic and proud that we made such a good comeback. We had a rotation sheet so everyone could play every position.
We played each position fantastically and everyone helped in this game, everyone went for the ball, and I think it was an enjoyable afternoon. We are now going to the Youth Games and we all can’t wait to play some netball there too.
