Hertfordshire School Games

On 26th June 2014 Christ Church, as the district winners in netball, represented Hertford and Ware schools in Hertfordshire School Games which took place in Godson Park.

The games began with an enchanting opening ceremony, then the matches took place. Each team had to play five matches. We won four and drew one, which meant that as winners we went on to play the semi  final, which we lost unfortunately. Next, we had to play for the third place. This was our seventh match of the day and although the girls were exhausted, they won!

To come third may seem to some like a bit of disappointment, but I should point out that the girls actually beat the team which eventually won the competition. However, I think the girls made us all feel very proud; they showed an amazing amount of determination, resilience, as at times they were not winning and they had to fight back. The team spirit was excellent too; the girls had to keep changing positions and be able to play and support one another at all times. In my opinion, they should be congratulated on their considerable achievement; to come third out all the Hertfordshire county schools is absolutely  unbelievable. Well done to you all, the whole Christ Church community appreciate the hard work and many hours of training you have put in this year, thank you to you all.

The team representing Christ Church was: Holly, Emily, Saffy, Iona, Amelie, Annabelle, Lottie and Libby. Well done girls.

Needless to say, the team would have not achieved this without their fantastic coaching team, special thanks to all of you.
