U19 Girls Netball

On Saturday the U19 girls went to Lechwe School and participated in some Netball games. There were five teams in attendance including ourselves. The other teams were Kalulushi Trust, Lechwe, Trident and Mpelembe.

Centre - Rosemary and WD - Thoko

    Our first game was against Trident. We were a bit unsure at the start of this game as we were a new team and hadn’t played in a long time. Nevertheless, we played well in this game. We used the space well and worked well together even though we lost many balls from poor catching, which was a problem we faced in every game. We won that game 11 to 6.

  Our second game was against Lechwe. We started that game very well and made a good goal difference but we soon lost focus and Lechwe then caught up. It was a tight game but we lost it 14 to 11.

  Our third game was against Mpelembe. We started that game very sloppy and let them score 3 goals on the trot. When we finally woke up and regained our focus, we managed to catch up but we’re still sloppy and gave away easy balls and so we lost that game 11 to 8.

  Our fourth and final game of netball was against Kalulushi Trust. We also started that game very sloppy but soon regained focus and played well. There was better communication in this game and that was something else we were lacking in. We won that game 16 to 1.

   I would like to thank the team for working hard, Mrs Grove for coaching us before and during the game, everyone who cheered us on and most of all, God, for the opportunity to play and for a lovely day. I would also like to recommend Rosemary Nawakwi as ‘lady of the match’ for her exceptional effort and excellent communication as our new centre.
