1st VII through to the next round of the Independent Schools National Cup

Felsted v Royal Russell School - Felsted Win 46-13
 Having only had two Friday evening training sessions this term, the girls arrived on court looking a little tentative. After the first 5 minutes the nerves settled and the girls played some excellent netball. The passages of play by Mollie Stonham and Maddie Smith through the centre court and feeding the circle were excellent, and as a result our shooters (Tamara Evans, Hayley Young and Helen Spooner) were awarded numerous chances and profited from them.

Our defence, consisting of Georgia Long, Bella Thomas and Lizzie Cole, were a force to be reckoned with and Royal Russell found it extremely difficult to get the ball past them. Bella Thomas in particular played a pivotal role in turning the ball over numerous times by her excellent intercepting skills. The end result was 46-13 and player of the match was awarded to Bella Thomas. A great start to the year for this team and we look forward to hearing who they are drawn against in the next round.
