U12 North Shropshire Tournament (Ellesmere College) 1.30pm

On Thursday 6th March, Oswestry School’s U12 netball team played in the U12 North Shropshire Schools Netball Tournament, hosted by Ellesmere College.

The team worked consistently well together throughout the matches with superb defending in the circle from Jessica Tomley and Emma Duncombe.  Their effort, alertness and determination saw a number of successful ball turnovers initiating attacking play.  Both Elise Fisher (WD) and Holly Paine (WA) worked well with Francesca Dyke in the centre position to link the defending and attacking ends of the court.   Good spatial awareness and communication between the two shooters, Ellie Chambers (GA) and Emily Lunt-Evans (GS), provided good goal scoring opportunities.  Eagerly supported by Natalie Meakin (reserve and first-aider in the making!), the team deservedly made it to the semi finals.  Despite raising their game, they were unable to pull clear of Ellesmere College, who went on to win the tournament.

Well done to you girls, you worked hard in your games, and were a credit to yourselves and the school!
