Netball Tournament

A bright, sunny day - perfect for a day of netball.  Roydon A and B  teams walked to Diss High School to be greeted by the Sports Leaders. There were several familiar faces as  some leaders were ex-Roydon pupils.

The morning began with a skills session. Each team participated in a carousel of activities focussing on shooting, marking, defending, footwork and passing.











In the afternoon the skills were put to use in a tournament. 13 teams were split into 2 groups - League 1 and League 2. Each team played everyone in their group. There were some highly competitive matches demonstrating some great netball.


Waiting....
















When all the games had been played our A team had won every game to go into the final. The B team played well and learnt a lot which will help them in the future.

And so to the final...

Roydon v Garboldisham. The game was fast and furious with end to end netball. Unfortunately Roydon got off to a bad start and were losing 2 - 0 within minutes. However, our captain, Ruby, gave lots of encouragement and gradually the team pulled back. In the last 5 minutes of the game there was some wonderful attacking and fantastic defending. Accurate shooting helped us gain some extra goals, making the final score 6 - 3 to Roydon.  WELL DONE!








Well done to the A team and to all the Roydon girls who played well and demonstrated a competitive, but sporting nature.

The A Team with Sports Leader Chloe.


Thank you to Chloe and Elise ( both ex-Roydon pupils) for guiding us throughout the tournament and offering a lot of support and encouragement.
