Hockey

Last week the Under 14 Hockey team played in the County Cup Hockey semi final and final at Queenswood.

We played against RMS in the semis. The girls were amazing, great movement on and off the ball, accurate passing and 4 great goals (2x E. Macrae, M. Ker) taking us through to the final against the winners of Queenswood and Parmiters.

40 minutes later and we were getting ready for our match against Queenswood’s A team. The girls started strong and at half time we were 1 – 0 up with a great goal from Georgiana Fowler. The second half bought more of the same, a couple of great saves from goalkeeper Ruby Conner from some short corners. To finish, a great run from the half way line from Alice Lynn to put in a second goal on the final whistle!!!

So so so proud of all of the girls… a great win to become U14 County Champions!! So well deserved!!

Netball

Last week Year 7 played 3 netball teams from Heath Mount. All 3 teams won their matches!! Well done girls! Looking forward to our Year 7/8 netball trip to PGL this weekend!

Huge well done to the Year 7 A and B teams who both won their district netball tournaments on Monday! They played some wonderful netball and completely dominated all of their games, not losing a match between them!

Congratulations girls! So proud of you all!

Football

U14s

Well done to the U14s football team who won 6-4 in an 11 a Side friendly against Chauncy last Wednesday. This was a combined Year 8/9 team with the Year 8s experiencing their first match on a full size pitch.

The girls got off to a flying start with Lali L scoring a wonderful solo goal in the first 2 minutes. The girls dominated the first half leading 4-1 at half time with goals from Maia K, Darcy B and Anastasia M.

In the second half, Chauncy cane back into it with two well worked goals to reduce the lead to 4-3. Presdales then found a second wind and scored two further goals, both fantastic long range shots from Eva D and Georgiana F. The game ended 6-4 to Presdales. An excellent contest between two good teams. Well done girls! Coaches POTM were Lali L and Bella H.

U16s

Presdales has reached their first ever County Cup Football Final! On Wednesday 30th March, our U16s team will play Ashlyns School at Cheshunt Football Club. The match kicks off at 7.30pm with access for spectators from 6.45pm. There’s a large stand to keep you dry in the event of rain! It would be wonderful to see as many people as possible coming along to support our girls. We hope to see you there!

Indoor Athletics

Huge congratulations to these amazing athletes in Year 8/9! Last Thursday they competed in a new event, the indoor athletics ‘Academy Cup’ where schools across the County competed at Lee Valley Athletics Centre.

Well done girls! Overall, the team came in 1st place – an amazing achievement!! So proud of you all and we look forward to seeing you in action in the Summer County league!

Cricket

Well done to the U15 Cricket team who came 2nd in the Lady Taverners cricket tournament last Friday!

The girls won their first game against John Warner by 40 runs, narrowly lost to St Margaret’s by 2 runs in their second game, won their third game against Simon Balle by 13 runs and won by 20 runs against Queenswood in their final game.

Excellent team work when batting and fielding, led by our captains Eva and Georgiana meant that the girls are now through to the county finals on 23rd March!
