St Michael's Prep School's U11A team represented the school at the IAPS Regional Netball Tournament on Thursday 5th March. Set to play 3 group games across the event, the girls arrived raring to go - the sun helping to boost their spirits as they prepared to play their best netball.

There were 4 groups in the competition with 4 teams in each group. St Michael's first game was against Downsend School. Following a slow start, the girls found their feet, displaying some super netball and winning this difficult game 5-4.

Their next game was against Rose Hill School who the girls had faced before at the St Michael's Tournament. They played confidently with all girls making an excellent contribution to their 7-2 win. The final group game was against Marlborough House Vinehall School - an unknown team for the girls but they played exceptionally well to win 11-0.

As winners of their group, the team then progressed to the Quarter-Finals of the Cup Competition, facing Cumnor House School who they had also played at St Michael's previously. This was a fiercely fought and even game with the goals going with the centre passes. Unfortunately, despite a superb effort, the girls lost 4-7, meaning they did not progress any further.

Commenting on St Michael's participation in the tournament, St Michael's Prep School Sports Teachers Cal Wade and Nicky Denton said: "It was an excellent morning of netball - well done to the girls and thank you to the parents who were able to come along to support. We are extremely proud of the girls."
