Miss Huckle (Head of Netball)

It was a weekend of sporting success for our U13 netball teams who competed in the GSA annual netball tournament at Condover Hall, Shropshire (22nd – 23rd September 2018).

On the Saturday the U13A won eight out of nine games and qualified to play for the Trophy, whilst the U13B had a more mixed day and qualified for the Plate.  

On the Sunday the U13A team played and won all three games in the first half of the morning, gaining a spot in the semi-final vs JAGS. A tight 14 minute semi-final left the score at 7-7. Two minutes of extra time found BGS victorious, winning 9-8, and landing a spot in the final of the Trophy (the furthest any U13 BGS team has reached). They met St Pauls again in the final and lost 10-5 meaning they were crowned Runners Up of the Trophy 2018.

The U13B team played a round robin style of tournament for the Plate. They had an extremely successful second day winning 4 out of 5 games. All the other teams in the Plate lost at least two games meaning the U13Bs were the winners of the Plate – the furthest any U13B team has ever got at Condover. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for all the girls.
