On a freezing cold Thursday afternoon the U16 team stormed
to an overwhelming victory to take the Under 16 District
Trophy. I witnessed some of the finest netball I have ever
seen as the team went from strength to strength winning all of their
1st round matches very convincingly beating St. Marys 5-2,
Mountfitchet 12-0, Saffron Walden 4-3 and Helena Romanes 14-0. They
then met Herts & Essex in the semi-final and in an exciting end
to end match they won 6-4. They were looking invincible as they went
into the final against St Marys, having already beaten them in the
earlier round the girls were quietly confident. They played the most
amazing netball with their slick accurate passing, superb shooting
and solid defence to win the match by a convincing 10 goals to 3.
District Champions! wow what a thrill and so thoroughly deserved. It
is hard to mention anyone in particular as the whole team worked so
hard and so well together, I was so very proud of them all.

The team consisted of Tonica
Hunter, Lori Campbell, Charlotte Croker, Emily Woodhouse, Aimee
Swayne, Helen Trantum (Captain) and Georgia Swayne. A special
mention should go to our reserve, Emily Hatchett who supported the
team throughout the freezing afternoon.
On behalf of the girls I would like to thank our avid
supporters who stood in the freezing cold throughout the afternoon:
Mrs Campbell and Mrs Trantum, and Mr & Mrs Croker for their
support and all the refreshments they brought for the girls. Thank
you
all!
