On Wednesday 7th March, DGS competed at the U13 County Schools Netball tournament in Oxford. The sun was shining and the girls were really looking forward to playing lots of netball. Results from the first round were as follows:

 

Oxford High 10 - 3 WIN

St Helens & St Katherine's 0 - 8 LOSS

Cokethorpe 7 - 1 WIN

The Dragon School 6 - 3 WIN

Tudor Hall 6 - 1 WIN

Lord Williams 10 - 1 WIN

Bloxham 10 - 2 WIN

 

The team played some really impressive netball in the first round of games, with lots of interceptions, turnovers and super shooting! We were placed 2nd in our pool and qualified to  compete in the semi-final against Headington School. It was a highly competitive game and the final score was 11-2 to Headington. The team showcased a quality level of netball today, earning themselves some fantastic results! We received some lovely comments from both officials and coaches about how well the team played, they really were fantastic DGS ambassadors. DGS were placed 3rd out of 16 schools in Oxfordshire, an outstanding result which the team should be extremely proud of!

Congratulations to Charlotte Taylor, Emma Park, Lily-May Carpenter, Charlotte Lambert, Laura Millar, Rebecca Agg, Millie Jones, Katie Woods, Ellie Coster and Celena Appleby-Prince.
