Match reports
U12 Boys Football
Our U12 boys football team built upon their previous game with a winning performance away at Christian Alliance International School on Tuesday 6th May.
The team got off to a positive start peppering the CAIS goal with shots and their keeper making many saves. Eventually the deadlock was broken with a strike from distance by Sihoon. The team continued to apply pressure and goals followed for Max and Adrian, both of whom were making their debut. The discussion at half time was about tidying some small parts of individual performances to ensure control was kept. Charles got on the score sheet, swiftly followed by Kaito and Oscar. CAIS managed to score a consolation goal before Adrian added his second of the game and Oscar secured his hat-trick!
A commanding performance that built upon the impressive show from last week and sets a standard to aspire to in every game.
U14 Netball
In an exhilarating showdown against Kellett, our U14 Netball squad showcased their determination and skill. Right from the start, the team charged onto the court, with some excellent play from centre court players Niamh, Imogen and Ailsa, demonstrating tight defense and keen interceptions that led to a close 1-2 score after the first quarter.
While the second quarter posed challenges with footwork and contact fouls, our attackers, particularly Jessica and Antony on attack and Niamh on defense shone brightly, narrowing the gap to 10-12 by the end of the third quarter.
With the fourth quarter upon us, the team was fired up, eager to capitalise on their momentum. Despite a valiant effort and intense defensive plays, a few miss-steps in passing allowed Kellett to pull ahead, concluding the game at 10-16.
This match highlighted the squad's growth and teamwork as they embraced feedback and improved throughout the game. We eagerly anticipate the next challenge—go Knights
Looking Ahead
