An exhausting week comes to a close and the curtain is drawn on the season for our senior girls’ teams. Many thanks to our reporters, Kendra Williams (netball), Miss Bradley (hockey) and Miss Goulding (football) for their daily updates. How did the teams fare on the final day? See below to find out.
It was an exciting last day at UNISS for the Prem netball girls. After being neck in neck in each quarter of their first game, the team was able to pull ahead and come out with a win. In their afternoon game, they unfortunately lost. However, they still had a great time. The Year 13 players were especially sad to be playing their last game of the season. Overall UNISS was a great experience where the girls met like-minded people, made new friends and learned new skills.
Tired and injured bodies hit the turf this morning as the football girls came up against One Tree Hill College in the play off for 17th and 18th position. The Sancta Maria girls got off to a slow start against the Ellerslie school girls with sloppy defending leaving them 1-0 down early in the first half.
After a tough team talk at half time Sancta Maria went out ready to leave everything on the turf. With goalie Orla Edwards out of action for the second half due to illness, Kelsey Stowers took one for the team and played in goal for the second half. The girls fought valiantly and certainly picked up their game but with 2 more goals slipping through, and no reply from Sancta, the girls had to settle for 18th.
With this being the girls’ first tournament it was a great learning experience and to come away with 3 wins and a draw along with the 4 losses is a pretty good effort all round. Big thanks to the supporters and all those who helped organise everything. Bring on top 16 next year!
The hockey girls lost 0-2 in their final game to finish 14th in their competition.
