ear 11 netball success
Congratulation to the year 11 netball teams, who on Thursday 8th October took part in their annual West Notts Netball tournament at Quarrydale school. Eight secondary schools across Mansfield entered the tournament, which is a fantastic turn out, despite with the stresses and strains that year 11 students are currently under, particularly our students who are halfway through their first mock window. There were two separate pools for the tournament and Brunts were placed into pool A alongside: Quarrydale, Joseph Whittaker, Selston and Sutton Centre. Despite losing their first two pool games, the students showed great resilience and motivation to go on and secure a draw against Quarrydale and finished the pool games with a fantastic 5-0 win against Joseph Whittaker!
The whole squad should be extremely proud of their achievements across their school netball journey.The vast majority of these students have been attending netball club since year 7! Throughout this time, the girls have demonstrated outstanding commitment, team spirit, and personal growth. Their dedication to training and matches, combined with their positive attitude and support for one another, has helped them develop both individually and as a team. They have faced challenges with resilience, celebrated successes together, and consistently represented the school with pride and sportsmanship. As they complete their final year, they should be extremely proud of the progress they have made and the strong bonds they have built. Their hard work, determination, and enthusiasm have left a lasting impact and provide a wonderful example for younger players to follow.
It was also fantastic to see them proudly step out on court tonight, in their new netball dresses! Following the daily badgering of Mr Fisher, to support the funding of these– Thank you! Don't they look professional! Well done girls – super proud teacher moment!
