On Tuesday 3^rd March the St Mary’s Netball Team participated in the first round of the Basingstoke School’s Netball tournament, held at Russell Howard Netball Courts.

We started as we meant to go on, with the first game ending in a 15-0 and a 11–0 win for St Mary’s against Silchester, a positive result from a team with players that had not played competitively together before.

The second game, against Burghclere proved more of a challenge as they are renowned for strong netball squads. This resulted in a 2 -2 draw but we upped our game when we played them for the 2^nd time with a 5-0 win.

We performed exceptionally well against Whitchurch securing wins of 13-0 and 14-0.

We look forward to the Basingstoke Schools Netball Finals on Thursday 19^th March at Russell Howard.

Thank you to all parents who supported us throughout this event with lifts and support to the team.
