Match Report – U11 Netball match against South Wilts Grammar School Wednesday 12th
November 2008 Yesterday the Year 6 A team played South Wilts Year 7 B’s. We saw them warming up and we all got quite nervous because they were so tall. We lost the toss so they choose to take first centre pass. They got the ball quickly to their shooters for the first goal. Next Lexy had the ball and it was our centre, Sophia whizzed into a space a passed to Natasha who shot her first goal. The game was quite even, but at half-time South Wilts had the edge and were leading 8-6. Following a quick tactic talk with Mrs Cooke at half time, we came back onto the court very determined to level the score. Annabel swapped on as Goal Shooter and Tish did a great job supporting us along the way. It was South Wilts centre, Beth did a great job of intercepting the ball, but sadly they got the ball back. Unfortunately they managed to score another goal. Our hopes were high and we really wanted to win so we quickly shot another goal. Unfortunately when their goal attack got into the circle, Freya had a very hard job to reach any of the balls and intercept, because she was so tall! South Wilts went on and scored 5 more goals to our one goal. It was a South Wilts centre and no matter how hard Freya, Beth and Hope tried, South Wilts got another goal. We had managed to get the ball down to the circle and near to getting another goal when the whistle went! The final score was 14-8 - we all played very well. South Wilts played a good game too.
I’d like to say a huge thank you to Mrs. Cooke for giving us tips along the way
and South Wilts for a fun, exciting match. Well done to Sophia who got voted
player of the match.
Match Report – Wednesday 22nd October 2008
Although it was wonderful to
see them again, Mrs Cooke said there was no time to be nice! It was our centre
pass as we had won the toss and them the game began. We quickly got the ball
down to our shooter, who scored a goal, and it was 1- nil to us. The ball kept being
passed around the place and we made silly mistakes. At one time I think my brain
had fallen out of my ears as it was off-side and a free pass or shot, so I took it and
tried to lob it over to Natasha but I was aiming for the wrong place and it just went
off-side again!
At halftime it was 4-3 to us. We had a talk about team tactics and
then started for another 15 minute game. We got a lot better at our channels and
spaces but more importantly our catching! It was Godolphin centre and they
scored a lot of goals but there was no time to think downwards, as we held on
tight, and finally at the end, the score was 7 – 11 to us, we had won!!
It was a very
exciting game and a great big thank you to Mrs Cooke, Mrs Belsey for loads of
useful tips on the way, Godolphin for a fantastic match and everybody who was
playing and supporting us. Lexy Burdge was voted player of the match which was
well deserved!
Match Report – Thursday 16th October 2008
The game was fast and quickly Leehurst Swan got the ball down to their circle and
shot the first goal. It was then our centre pass but Leehurst managed to shoot
again. But we were not disheartened – we still had loads of confidence!
After half time we managed to shoot our first goal – there was lots of cheering and
we quickly followed with two more but it was not enough!
The final score was 8 – 3 to Leehurst Swan , but we were not too disappointed.
After all they were a year older than us and SO much bigger!
After the match we were all quite tired but the kitchen staff had prepared a
delicious tea for us.
Mrs Cooke was a great umpire but she was much stricter than she usually is! (I was
voted ‘Player of the Match)
