In the last netball match of the term, we are delighted to confirm that our U16A squad won their round of the Sisters n Sport competition to progress through to the Quarter Finals in January.
After a slower start in the match our WHS netballers composed themselves to win all quarters and beat North London Collegiate School 27-13.
We travel to Roedean School in Sussex for our quarter final match.
We were so pleased to hear that Agnes was selected to be part of Team GB this year, here is a report from her competitions:
After selection I attended an international Cadet U17 competition in Klagenfurt. I came 81st out of 300 but I was annoyed by my final bout, fencing against an Italian athlete - I knew I could do better!
Two weeks ago, I also competed at a national Cadet competition where I came 5th so I was very happy with this result.
I have been taking dance lessons since I was 3 years old, doing ballet, jazz and contemporary. A few years ago, I decided to start focusing on ballet, a dance form that I love.
I started to train harder outside and inside my classes and went to lots of auditions. At first, I did not really get anywhere but last year I was selected to perform as part of the London Children’s Ballet’s 2024 production company. This was an unforgettable experience as I performed in a West End theatre after months of learning a ballet called ‘The Secret Garden’. This was such an insight to performing as a professional ballerina and the work put into creating a ballet like this.
Match report: U16A vs Churcher’s College
After a long drive, we arrived at Churcher’s College and started the match. 1 minute in, we scored our first goal: a slap from Rochelle. We had lots of momentum from this and continued playing mostly in their half. In the first half we played well, transferring the ball, working hard, and making good passes. Then, on a short corner, Kiana scored a hit, making it 2-0 to the green machines. Churcher’s fought back and their most dominant player scored a goal, putting the score at 2-1 before half time.
We were thrilled to compete in the Milano Trio Acro Competition held at Putney High School on Monday. Our team team performed very well over the day, with the U13B team gaining a 3rd place.
Well done all!
