7/8 Netball

The year 7/8 Netball teams had a great time at the North side carnival yesterday. Each team played to their strengths and managed to get some good wins! Our Gold team played their way through to the finals and had a fantastic grand final win, 24-9. Our Blue team also had some great games and only just missed out on the finals due to points differential.

The girls had a great day and displaying fantastic sportsmanship and team work. The grand final against Merici saw a nail biting finish, with scores locked at 11 all at full time! An extra three minutes was played each way and again scores were tied! Both teams were declared joint winners and will be progressing through to the ACT carnival.
