High 5 Netball Festival ( Wednesday 11th March)
Below are a few action photos from the High 5 Netball Festival which Lady Bay enjoyed taking part in! We were in a tough group but started well with a 6 nil win! In the second game we refused to give up and battled on to get a well earned draw. In the last game we lost unfortunately to a very experienced netball team.

An early start on a cold and blustery Saturday morning for the girls as they competed in the Rushcliffe schools tournament at St Peter's school in Ruddington. Confidence was high after being runners up in the previous tournament, but with only 8 minutes per match, it was frantic stuff and difficult to find any rhythm in the first two games. Needing to win our final three games to stand any chance of topping the group, we comfortably won two in succession before unluckily falling to defeat against St. Edmund Campion in our last game to finish third in the group. All the girls can be proud of their performances, and with a bit more luck in front of goal we could have gone much further!
