On Tuesday 30th July, a group of us Year 5 students - Lily, Jessica, Charlotte, Josie, Amy, Annalia, and Mishke, plus us two (Chandler and Sacha) set off to the Hibiscus Coast Primary School Netball Tournament full of excitement and nerves down at Edith Hopper Courts in Manly!
We played four games, versing Whangaparaoa, in which we won 6-1. Then Warkworth was our next game, we had warmed up a little by then and were ready to do even better, which we won 9-1. After the first two games were played we were super happy and pretty confident. Next up was Red Beach, again we won 1-3. Then Kingsway which was the decider to see if we were to go through to the finals in which we won 12-1.
The excitement and nerves were at a all time high, as we were really needing to prove ourselves as a team and hopefully come away with a win!
When we got on court we played hard out, and with the most determination of the whole day as all we could think about was the trophy that we could possibly win.
It felt like we had only been on court a few minutes and then the final whistle blew. We had won 8-4. Wow! We felt so awesome and knew that everyone who was watching us was really proud of us and or efforts.
We then collected out trophies individually and as a team and headed back to school to share our great news with everyone!
We had such a fun day and can't wait for next years tournament!
