FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - WARRIORS - 13 AUGUST 2018

It was another good win for the Year 5-6 Flippa Ball team this week, beating Orewa 7-2. While Orewa put up a good fight and had some strong, tall players, both our attack and defence stayed strong. James and Ella both did a fantastic job in goal, coupling their strong throwing arms with some brilliant saves. James also scored some great goals from the middle of the pool.
It was great to see Brooke and Rosie making some fearless tackles to get the ball from the opposition. Well done girls! This week's Player of the Day was Amy Akehurst, for her fabulous defence. Well done, Amy!
Training takes place Mondays, 1pm to 2pm, at the Leisure Centre.

FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 3 & 4 - MARLINS - 13 AUGUST 2018

This was the best game the Marlins had played.  It was a great team effort which saw the Marlins take a 5-3 win. Player of the Day was Daniel Vaudrey.
Training takes place Mondays, 1pm to 2pm, at the Leisure Centre.
 

BASKETBALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - ASTEROIDS - 13 AUGUST 2018

Our little team owned the court against our Orewa opponents with an awesome win, great team passing, and numerous goals particularly by Annie Duncan who was our well deserved Player of the Day.

NETBALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - WENTWORTH STARS - 13 AUGUST 2018

It was a cold Thursday night when the Wentworth Stars stepped on court to face their Orewa opponents.  The unexpected change from the 6-a-side format to the traditional and familiar 7-a-side game, has been a hurdle that our Stars have valiantly faced in the past couple of weeks.  Transitioning to this new style of netball has seen our Stars develop a new understanding of positional play, off-side rules and defensive responsibilities.  Each team member has approached the games with a positive, 'never give up' attitude.  Unfortunately, the Stars were unable to dominate the scoreboard on Thursday despite the fact that everyone made a great contribution to the game.  Congratulations to Rosa Clark for an excellent effort under the goal..........5 goals!  A fantastic performance under pressure, Rosa!
Trainings take place every Thursday at lunchtime.  Please remember appropriate footwear and PE kit.

FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - WARRIORS - 6 AUGUST 2018

The Warriors continued their winning run by chalking up a 6v0 win. At times we showed some brilliance, and with continued strategic play this team will maintain a strong presence in this league. Player of the Day was Rory Brabant for very good midfield play.
Training takes place Mondays, 1pm to 2pm, at the Leisure Centre.

FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 3 & 4 - MARLINS - 6 AUGUST 2018

Two new players joined us and each was thrown into unknown territory, with Ollie going on strike and Daniel on defence and goal. We lacked a bit of cohesion, but with some more trainings and games this team will become formidable. The result was 5v1 and Player of the Day was Isabella Paxton for excellent defence.
Training takes place Mondays, 1pm to 2pm, at the Leisure Centre.
 

BASKETBALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - ASTEROIDS - 6 AUGUST 2018

While we were unable to get a pattern in our game due to more than half the team changing positions, everyone did their best and had fun.  Unfortunately it was not enough against the very strong Kingsway Impact who won 22 – 4.
Player of the Day was Brooke Oliver for her unflagging commitment on both attack and defence.

NETBALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - WENTWORTH STARS - 6 AUGUST 2018

It was a game of two halves last night when the Wentworth Stars took the court to face their Stanmore Bay foes!  In the first 20 minutes Stanmore Bay dominated possession and easily converted this into a healthy half time lead.  A determined and brave push by our shining Stars, coupled with sensational defence and accurate passages of play on attack, saw our team begin to claw back the Stanmore Bay lead.  Our Player of the Day, Katie Neilson, was calm and accurate, managing to sink some difficult long shots under pressure.  Well done Katie!  The final score was 9-8 to our Stars!  It was a fantastic game to watch, girls, and an excellent come-back after a tough game last week.  Keep it up!
Trainings take place every Thursday at lunchtime.  Please remember appropriate footwear and PE kit.

FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - WARRIORS - 30 JULY 2018

The Warriors played two games. The first game was very physical and tough. We were put under pressure from the start but I am pleased to say that we did not lose focus and played a good, technical game. The result was 5v1 to the Warriors. Player of the Day was Ben Oliver for his outstanding defence.
The second game was no walk in the park either. Our defence was solid but we missed several goal scoring opportunities which would have made the scoreboard look very flattering. The Warriors won 6v1. Player of the Day was Ella Nathan for her goal scoring and her defensive work when in goal.

Training takes place Mondays, 1pm to 2pm, at the Leisure Centre.

FLIPPA BALL - YEARS 3 & 4 - MARLINS - 30 JULY 2018

The Marlins played their first game of the Term. It was a good game, played at a fast pace with lots of action. I was encouraged to see that the players used the skills they had learnt in Term 2. The result was 3v3 and Player of the Day was Alex Krehl for solid goal keeping and throwing the ball to his team mates.

Training takes place Mondays, 1pm to 2pm, at the Leisure Centre.

NETBALL - YEARS 5 & 6 - WENTWORTH STARS - 30 JULY 2018

The Wentworth Stars were brave on Thursday evening as they took on a far more experienced Whangaparaoa team.  Each Stars player put their heart and soul into their attacking game and fought hard to make themselves available for the ball.  Wentworth valiantly soldiered on in defence, constantly trying to interrupt the flow of the game for their opposition.  Unfortunately the scoreboard did not reflect the superb effort our Stars put out on court.  Congratulations to you all for never giving up!  Each of you deserved the WHOLE TEAM Player of the Day award!
Trainings take place every Thursday at lunchtime.  Please remember appropriate footwear and PE kit.
