On Wednesday 22nd January our U11 girls participated in a hotly contested netball tournament against 20 other school teams. They blitzed through the group stages beating the following schools:
Perrott Hill 11-1 win
Leweston 6-1 win
Durlston Court 7-1 win
Salisbury Cathedral 4-1 win
This placed Barrow Hills into the cup competition facing a semi-final against Hazelgrove. The girls had to up their game as they faced tough opposition but they won it 9-4! Now for the final… we thought we would be playing Millfield as they had looked strong all day – however they lost in the semi to Taunton. So, the final was Barrow Hills vs Taunton – bring it on!
At half time Barrow Hills was losing 3-1. A quick half-time chat from Mrs Clarke and a change of positions as per the rules of BEE netball and Barrow Hills came out blazing. They smashed the next 5 minutes of netball and won the game 5-4. 5 shots on goal in 5 minutes and 4 goals scored. A thrilling final to watch!
Congratulations to the following girls: Isobel, Esme, Michelle, Annabel, Lexi, India, Hermione and, of course, their coach Mrs Clarke!
