OVER THE PAST 7 weeks ladies across the University have been competing at College level in a number of matches (both friendly games and Cup Competitions). Currently Halifax are at the top of the 1st’s score-sheet with Derwent hot on their heels.
Particular praise goes to the Derwent GA (goal attack) and GS (goal shooter), who on a good day hold an exciting accuracy, bagging a point just about every time the ball enters their semicircle, and the Halifax WD (wing defence) and accurate GS, who are quick on their feet. Following Derwent stand Alcuin, Goodricke and James; near enough neck and neck at the moment. Whilst Alcuin have a tall 1st team and dominate by using overhead passes and winning most of the rebounds, James have a fast athletic team using the space of the court to a standard that I have not often seen in College netball.
At the other end of the table Langwith and Vanbrugh are trying to stay off the bottom. Although they should have enough to deliver the goods. With extra shooting and marking-up practice I look forward to seeing them climb higher! Vanbrugh dominate in the College Netball 2nd’s league, followed closely by Halifax and Wentworth, Alcuin, Derwent, Langwith, Goodricke and James respectively. The girls have consistently braved the Sports Tent’s chill to produce some memorable games.
