Last week saw the Year 8s play their semi-final of the District Cup against Beaumont School. After a slow start STAGS found themselves trailing by 3 goals. The next few quarters saw a change in confidence and the team found their usual form to produce some excellent passages of play. True grit and determination in the last quarter culminated in some of the best netball played all year. Unfortunately time slipped away and the first quarter deficit proved too large a gap to close. Congratulations to all girls involved for their immense efforts. Final score 12-16.

Congratulations to the Year 8 netball squad who were both victorious when we hosted two Sir John Lawes teams on Wednesday. A rather dull and damp day wasn't enough to put the 8s off their stride - what a wonderful way to end their league campaign. A big thank you to all girls who have been so committed to their STAGS netball journeys. You are a joy to coach and I've enjoyed seeing your progress this year.

A special mention to Year 7 players Ruby Hudson and Alice Wilson who rose to the challenge to help       the Year 8s in their recent victory against SJL. Superb shooting skills really set us apart from the opposition. Well done girls!
