Year 5 – 8 Cross Country Event at Danes Hill

The ND girls were back at the annual Danes Hill XC event on Tuesday. It is a very challenging course, with 20 schools in the Junior Race, Intermediate and Senior races. The ND girls performed to the best of their ability, giving some outstanding PB’s in this challenging course.
The Junior girls finished 5th overall with Theia R placing 2nd
The Senior girls finished 7th overall.

Well-done to all those ND girls who represented the school!

There were some fantastic personal runs across Years 5 – 8. It is always lovely to combine our Prep and Senior girls together for events like these. The Senior girls really did lead by example!

U13 C&D v Broomwood

The girls had two really well matched games on Wednesday afternoon against Broomwood.

The Cs created lots of chances and started to play some spacious hockey but in the end lost 3-1. Whereas the Ds had a really tightly fought game going 2-0 up thanks to two goals from Thea and Broomwood managed to bring one back to end the game 2-1.

U13 As v KGS

This was their first game at 11 aside in preparation for next year.

The girls had a really close first half, figuring out the size of the pitch and a few new positions, but held their own against a more experienced KGS team with half time finishing at 1-0. The second half we spoke about the spacing and how to lead and create space on a bigger scale. The girls worked really hard but the size of the pitch and amount of running needed started to take its toll and the final result was 4-0 to KGS.

No netball matches this week!

Clubs for Netball Players:

It is great to see a number of our students involved with netball clubs outside of school. If your daughter is playing regularly in school teams and would like advice or information on what the commitment is to join a netball club, or what other options exist, then please let me know and I will be very happy to try and help.

London Pulse Hub Pathway

There are a number of netball players who are developing really well and who may benefit even more from being in a London Pulse Hub Pathway. Trials will be held in the summer (normally July but there are late trials if players are away) and I can share details once dates have been clarified. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to me to discuss how we can further help your netballer develop.

You can register an interest by emailing Claire Long at claire.long@londonpulsenetball.com.
