Netball Roundup - Wednesday 12 February 2020

U11 A v Crackley Hall
7-2 Loss 
A very well contested game, after a slow start in the first quarter in which we conceded 4 goals, the girls settled well making fantastic interceptions and solid defence stopping the opposition from scoring in the next 2 quarters. 
Player of the game - Issy 
 
U11B v Crackley Hall
5-2 Loss 
Again a slow start where 3 goals were conceded in the first quarter the girls then fought well to gain control of the game and held possession well, unfortunately we couldn't quite convert all of the chances on goal. 
Player of the game Kyla-Mae 
 
U10A V Crackley Hall
3-1 Win
Player of the match was Amy Robinson who made numerous gutsy interceptions as GD, and showed excellent use of space on court when looking to receive the ball. All the girls should be very proud of their efforts and how well they worked together as a team - great job!
 
U10B V Crackley Hall
10-0 Loss
Although not the final score the girls would have hoped for, they should still be proud of their efforts. Crackley had some exceptional shooters (and some tall defenders!) but our girls showed signs of trying to overcome this by aiming to receive the ball in front of their defender and creating space on court in order to drive towards the ball. It was particularly pleasing to see, that despite the score line, the girls maintained their motivation and focus throughout, and continued to work hard to create opportunities to get the ball into the D. Player of the match was Bella who stuck with her player like glue and made excellent interceptions in her position of GK, also ably supported by Eden in GD - well done!

IAPS Swimming Gala

There was a great effort and focus from the swimming team in the IAPS gala. This was a qualifying round at King Henry VIII school for The National Finals and times are taken from all around the country with the top 16 qualifying. There were other local independent schools swimming against Crescent. It was great to see our children up at or near the front on most occasions despite swimming against larger schools.

Sienna was excellent in the breaststroke and registered a time that could see her through to The Nationals. Ewan was second in his backstroke race but still recorded a potential National Final time. Another highlight was the U11 boys medley relay team (Ewan, Sam, Marco and Matthew) who won their race and also recorded a time which could see them through. Other notable performances included Sam in the breaststroke. Having made a lot of improvement in his swimming, he won comfortably. Also, Stephanie who swam a year up in the U10 butterfly race and came second.
