Hampshire Schools U12 Tournament

15 schools attended the U12 county competition at the Russell Howard Netball Centre in Basingstoke on Tuesday 23 March 2010. The first half of the day was a round robin tournament where the school were in a pool of 4. There was 4 pools of 4 schools - results.

The second half of the day saw the winner and runner up from each pool going into the cup competition, with third and fourth place going in for the shield competition. This made a further two pools for each competition - results. The winners of each pool went forward to the final of the respective competitions. 

The winner of the cup was Priestlands (pictured) with Bay House as the runner up.

The winner of the shield was Bishop Challoner with Robert Mays as the runners up.

Overall a good day of Netball apart from the rain!!

National Schools Finals 2010

Roedean School in Brighton witnessed 43 schools, place 54 teams in over 260 games of netball on Saturday 20 March. The annual National Schools Finals Day 2010, hosted by England Netball, saw over 600 young netballers compete in the wind and intermittent rain to win their age groups’ winning trophy.

Hampshire were represented by Brockenhurst College in the U19 category and Thornden School in the U16 category.

Brockenhurst's day did not get off the to best of starts seeing the New Forest based team lose their first 2 games against strong opposition from Oldham and Hartbury.  The following five games saw the team get into their stride and win 4 and draw 1.  The final group game saw them come against the eventual winners, Barking Abbey where a good performance resulted in a narrow 2 goal win for Barking Abbey.  This meant
Brockenhurst finished 4th in their group - joint 7th overall.

Thornden had a similar day to Brockenhurst, not getting off to the best of starts.  They picked themselves up though and only lost 2 games out of their 8 contests.  This left them 3rd in their group narrowly missing out on a semi final place and placing them joint 5th overall

Well done to all concerned - a hard day's netball in difficult conditions.
