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.
