Another thrilling competition on the Netball courts at Furze Platt Senior School was tackled by the Year 5 and 6 Netball team today, the girls were very excited to be participating and representing Riverside today.....

There were 15 teams there and there were 3 pools, we were on Court 3 and had to play against St Lukes ( a win for us 7-0) and St Edmund Campian ( another win for us 4-0 ), we then lost 1-0 against Lowbrook A team and our last game was against Oldfield and they beat us narrowly by 3-1.   This meant that we got through to the next round and we ended up playing against St Edmund Campian A and lost by a small margin, final score Riverside 2, St Edmund 3.  Our girls showed resilience and a desire to go further but sadly on this occasion we did not get to play any more games but I have to say they did really well to get where they did, the final results will be sent to us but we came back to school with our heads held high and proud of our achievements today.  Well done team Riverside, a great result and well done to Sumaiya for being captain and to the rest of the team for excellent play.. Well done also to Charlotte, Ezzah, Vaania, Safia, Hafsah and Haleema some really great moments of good netball.
