Netball

U14s

Well done to the U14 netball team who recently competed in the StoneX Cup which was a new exciting opportunity for us!

The girls were one of 9 teams who competed in a round robin tournament against all other teams.

We were thrown straight in with a high intensity first game against Godolphin & Latymer which we won 8-5. We then had a few convincing wins against Mill Hill 1&2, St Margaret’s and Bedford Girls. We were then up against Berkhamsted where the girls worked hard throughout for a 10-5 win. Next were St Eds which was a team full of friends turned into rivals for the 10 minute match. The girls continued to work hard and won 8-3.

Our final game against Queenswood was another convincing win which meant that the girls topped the table and remained undefeated all day and were the only state school in the tournament!!

This now means the U14 netball team will play in the Final for this competition as a curtain raiser to a London Mavericks Super League netball match this season!!

A great tournament which we were grateful to be invited to and exciting things ahead for this team!

Year 8

Well done to the Year 8 Netball teams who had a friendly against Broxbourne last week. They played some great Netball and we have seen such improvement since seeing them play in Year 7. Both teams won against the Broxbourne teams; the team playing the A Team won 14-12 and B Team won 22-4. Well done all of you!

Senior Team

Congratulations to some of our fabulous senior squad who put in a confident display in the first round of the County Cup on Tuesday. Super shooting, dominant defence and perfect precision from our centre court. We go on to face the winners of Berkhamsted and Dame Alice Owens. Well done team!

Cross Country

Year 7

Massive well done to the Year 7 Cross country team who completed in the Mob race at Presdales. They ran so well, all putting in 100% effort! The teams are formed by the top 4 runners home, and then positions added together. The lowest score is the winner … so with a 2nd for Amelia, 3rd for Eileen, 4th for Isabelle (who sprinted the final 20m to move up a position!) and 8th place for Isla, we scored 17 points which meant we could not be beaten!

Well done to all of you that ran…. A fantastic first fixture for Presdales!

Year 7 and Year 8 & 9

Well done to the Cross Country runners who ran at Broxbourne this week in the gorgeous sunny weather on a long and difficult course! They all did amazingly well! In the Year 7 team, Amelia came 4th and Eileen came in 5th, in Year 8 and 9 Lily, Amelie, Scarlett and Millie came in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively. In the senior category, Lily came in 3rd with Anna in 7th, Immy 9th and Beth in 13th. Well done again to all runners!!

Football

U14s

Great performance from our U14s football team who won 7-1 against Longdean School in the County Cup last Wednesday.

The girls got off to a fast start scoring within the first two minutes. It was constant pressure on the Longdean goal and they added a couple more to lead 3-0 at half time.

The girls continued to dominate in the second half but then got a little warning when Longdean scored against the run of play to make it 3-1. This seemed to focus the girls who upped their intensity levels, adding a further 4 goals to take the tie out of reach.

We scored some beautiful goals against a good Longdean GK. This is encouraging as the U14s move deeper into the competition.

Lots of excellent performances across the pitch in a dominant display. Coaches Player of the Match is a joint award to Savanna and Karina who were excellent throughout. Also, special mention to Francesca with a confident Goalkeeping performance.

Well done to all the girls!
