Year 9 Netball
The Year 9 netball team played their first fixture also. Many of the girls were nervous about this match as we were missing our key shooter, leading to some of the girls having to play out of position.
However this was not shown on court as each player gave 100% and worked together playing some very skilful netball. Mashal Hassan who played Goal Attack and then Goal Shooter scored 8 out of the teams final 9 goals. Player of the match went to Alex Witek who kept her cool throughout the match, demonstrating excellent attacking and defensive skills in her position of Centre.
Final Score: Manchester Academy 9 – East Manchester Academy
