  • A huge well done to our Year 7 netball team, who have played their first three games for Team Primet against local schools Fisher More, West Craven and Park High. The girls have made incredible progress in a short space of time, developing from having some players who had never played netball before to making tactical decisions, communicating effectively and demonstrating excellent teamwork on court. A special congratulations to Haleema, Amelia and Abigail, who were all awarded Player of the Match by the opposition for their outstanding performances. Our Year 8 team have also played their first fixtures and were eager to get started after discovering a love for netball in Year 7. The team has worked incredibly hard, showing great determination and commitment throughout. A big shout out to Ida and Elia, who were selected as Player of the Match by the opposition. We would also like to give a special mention to Penelope for her vastly improved performance and the way she dominated key areas of the court. Her confidence, effort and impact on the game were fantastic to see. Well done to all of our players for representing Team Primet so brilliantly. We are incredibly proud of you all and look forward to seeing your continued progress throughout the season! 🎉🏐
