Year 9A Netball

The second time of meeting for these teams and the girls did not disappoint. The team started strong with a 3-0 win against BTH but came up against a strong AOM side, losing 6-1. After a break, the team come back fighting and beat Urmston Grammar 3-1. All players really pushed themselves and played some fantastic netball but stand out performances came from Kayne Muhumuza, captain Lana Zabadne and Lorena Prokop-Sanchez. A special mention goes to Maddy Vendy, who played excellently as GK in the last fixture and was able to transfer her skills to GS for these games.

Year 9B Netball

In the second fixture for this team, the first game saw us face one of the teams from Sale High. This was a close game but finished with a last-minute goal from Sale, ending in a 2-1 defeat for our team. We followed up with a game against a strong Urmston side which saw us fight hard but lose 6-0. Moving onto the second Sale High team, we learnt from our mistakes in the first game and won 2-1, with some great work from the defence. The final game of the day was against ACA which was a closely contested game and with a 1-1 finishing score, it showed how hard the team played. Stand out performances came from Laura Goodyer, who was a last-minute addition to the team and captain Merryn Taylor, who worked hard in defence.

As this was the second fixture for these teams, the scores and positions were combined and overall, the Year 9B team came 2nd.

The Year 7 girls football teams travelled to Broadoak School to play in their first tournament. They played tough opposition from Ashton on Mersey, Urmston Grammar and the hosts Broadoak.
