Zone 1 Netball - Lechwe

On the 30th of January, we had our first set of netball games for the season. We were excited and looking forward for some competition in netball this year. We had a variety of different people in the team and well trained too.
Our first game was against Trident College. It was a fairly clean game, considering the fact that it was our first game of the season. We coordinated well and put up a good game. We won that game 5-11. Most of the shots were made by Miss Kathleen!
Our second game was against Lechwe. That was a tiresome game. We became a bit sloppy and lost focus. It was a close game. In the second half of the game, they managed to break through our defence and get ahead of us by 4 shots. They eventually won that game 11-7.
Our third game was against Kalulushi Trust girls. They’re known to be a rough team in the past. Well, they managed to clean up their act and became sharper and more focused. It was quite a game they put up, but we didn’t give up either and we also won that game 3-14.
Our last game was against Mpelembe. They are also known to be a rough team from past experiences, but they also cleaned up their act. We played well in that game too, moving faster, sharper, and quick reactions which eventually led to a win of 9-17!
Overall the girls did very well and we came out 2nd. It was our first tournament of the season, and the effort and work  was lovely to witness! I believe they will become a stronger team as time goes by.
