Netball
U15s Another fantastic game for some of our U15s in the County Cup semi-final against a strong STAGS side.
The first quarter was tightly contested, with STAGS showing great defensive pressure and work rate, making it a real battle to settle into our rhythm. Credit to them for challenging every feed and keeping the intensity high, which pushed us to dig deep and refocus.
From here, we found our flow and showed great composure and teamwork throughout.
Presdales 41 v STAGS 18

Year 8 Well done to the Year 8 Country League team who travelled to St Margaret’s Bushey last week in very wet conditions! The girls started off strong 7-2 up in the first quarter and they continued to dominate as the match went on winning 29-10. Well done girls – some fab playing, team work and determination for a just under 3 hour round trip!
A well deserved Star Player to Scarlet playing centre!
On Monday, the Year 8 Netball team played in a friendly district tournament against all the local schools! They all played amazing netball in chilly conditions! A special mention to the blue team who won all their games so went on to win one half of the tournament!
Football
U16s Congratulations to our U16s football team who recently progressed in the County Cup with a convincing 6-1 win against STAGS. The girls showed why they are such a formidable team, playing some fantastic football and showing great togetherness.
The win is even more impressive as many of the girls were nursing injuries or felt unwell throughout the match. We had the bare 11 players with no subs so a huge well done to all the girls who soldiered on to secure the victory.
Coaches PotM goes to the whole team today as it truly was a team effort with everyone playing their part. Well done girls, you all played brilliantly! We now look forward to the Qtr Final against Dame Alice Owens.
U12s Well done to the U12s Football Team who beat a talented Edwinstree team 8-1 to reach the Semi Final of the County Cup.
In a closely contested match, the girls played some great football creating a lot of chances and showing fantastic tenacity in defence. Some work to be done to improve in some aspects before the semi final where the girls will face either Herts & Essex or local rivals Chauncy!
Coaches PotM going to Isabelle I who scored a ‘double hat trick’ in an incredible performance!
Congrats to all the girls!
Indoor Athletics
