U19 GIrls Basketball

  On Saturday, an U19 Girls’ Basketball team was quickly put together because Konkola did not turn up and  Mr Grove felt the need to give Mpelembe a game after travelling all the way.

  Our first game was against Mpelembe. In this game we worked well as a team and managed to win it 10 to 4.

  Our second game was also against Mpelembe but this time it was only a friendly game. We manipulated space well and worked together. We also won that game 6 to 2.

  Our final game was against Trident, I believe it was a friendly. In this game we were good at penetrating their defence but it was a tight game, a close call. Fortunately for us, we won that game 4 to 3.

   I think we played very well, not just because we won all our games, but also because we played as well as we did without any preparation. I would like to thank Stacey, Mwaya, Natalie, Kuwunda, Rosemary and Naomi for willingly stepping up and performing so well. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in organising the day and running it smoothly, to Mr Jarrett and Mr Kapalaula for coaching, to everyone who cheered us on and most of all to God for a day well spent. Thank you.

On Saturday, the 22nd, I was helping keep score for volleyball and Mr Grove walks up to me and said, “Get changed, you’re playing.” So the girls ended up playing three games of volleyball against Mpelembe, Trident, and Kalulushi [as a team had failed to show up]. I believe we beat Kalulushi with 2 sets to 1, lost to Trident with 15 points to 8, but we only played one set, and lost to Mpelembe at 2 sets to 1. 

I think we really need to work on communication so we don’t end up all running towards the ball or no one running towards the ball! One thing that was quite hard to cope with was the wind, but we couldn’t really do anything about it. I want to thank the team for working hard together even though we only got together 5 minutes before we actually started to play, and I want to say a special thank you to our relatively new players like Kuwunda. Thank you for being willing to play hard. I would also like to thank those who help to organize this event and especially God for the day and that it went well.
