24 Mar Year 8 and 9
The Year 8 and 9 JRCS netball teams competed in the Borough Netball Rallies at Barking Abbey this week and both teams came away with a medal! The Year 8 A and B teams were both in action and the B team who have only played a few friendlies this season came 6th in the pool stage.
The A team won all of their games in the pool stage beating Eastbury, All Saints B, Robert Clack B and Riverside to win the pool. They then progressed to the semi-final which was an end to end thriller, we unfortunately lost 10 – 9 to All Saints who scored in the closing seconds. JRCS then played against Eastbury in the 3rd/4th playoff and despite beating them convincingly in the pool stage it was a tense match which we narrowly won 3-2. The team deservedly won a Bronze and I am immensely proud of their commitment and achievements this season.
The Year 9 team similarly performed well in the pool stages beating Barking Abbey and Sydney Russell and losing 3 – 2 to Robert Clack B. They progressed to the semi-final as runners up in the pool and met Eastbury who were dominant in the other pool. We were well beaten by an outstanding Eastbury team who scored 8 goals to nil, however, the girls quickly overcame this defeat and went through to play Robert Clack B in the 3rd/4th playoff. The pool game had been extremely close so again this was an edgy match. Joanna Charles scored the winning goal in the last 15 seconds and we become Bronze medallists winning the game 3 – 2.
The Year 9 team have impressed us this season with their dedication to training and I was especially proud of the girls resilience following the semi-final defeat.
Well done to all the girls who participated in netball this season and we look forward to another successful netball season next year.
