Netball News

This week saw all our netball teams return to playing after a long weekend break. They were all blessed with fine weather and we saw Year 6 Team Aqua play a nail biting 10 all draw. Well done Team Aqua.

Well done to all our teams this week. We were blessed with fine weather (don’t get used to it!) and all our teams performed well.

This week saw some of our Aranmore teams play netball in inclement weather. With the Year 5 Team Orange match being abandoned on Friday night due to thunder and lightning halfway through the 3rd Quarter.

Another great week for our Aranmore netball teams in perfect weather conditions. ARANMORE TEAM GOLD An improved effort by team Gold in their second game with better passing and more goals scored.  The girls will work on sticking with their player and  getting into space to receive a good pass.  Our player of the day…

There was a bye for netball last weekend as it was the long weekend. There was still netball for 1 very special Aranmore girl though. Sophie Rowse (6R) was selected for the Perth Development Team, and has been training hard with them all year. This team represents Perth Netball Association in the Association Championship Carnival which was played over the long weekend. This involved the best from Perth Netball Assoc playing teams from all other Associations around the state – both metro and country.

Well it was a pretty wet and windy weekend. The year 3 girls played on Friday afternoon so got their game in before the storms … unfortunately for the older girls netball on Saturday was cancelled. It was simply too dangerous in the conditions to play netball. Hopefully all of you got the notifications before heading to Matthews on Saturday.

Here are our netball coaches comments from the games last week. These will be a weekly update throughout the season. The AquaGirls made it two wins in a row as they ran out winners by 10 goals to 5 against St Hilda’s on the weekend. The match was probably closer than the score would indicate but it was the superb tough defensive work from Lola Sabatier and Lily Petch that made it really hard for the opposition to score.
