SLC netball girls on fire during Treverton College festival
“I am so proud of the girls. What more could a coach ask for in a team that gives their all?"
Stanford once again had a successful trip to Treverton College to take part in their festival.
Rugby: The rugby players got better as the festival progressed, improving from game to game. It was tough on many of the players as they were juggling both hockey and
rugby matches.
The final game, although coming out on the losing side, was a good game of running rugby.
Results: Played 3, Lost 3.
Girl’s Hockey: The girls struggled on day one of the festival and never gelled. They could not keep possession of the ball.
From day two they clicked nicely as a team and showed some good form.
They ended up playing in the main game of the day.
Results: Played 8, Won 3, Drew 1, Lost 4. Well done and a good come back girls.
Boy’s Hockey: The boys lacked consistency through the four days, although they played very good and well-structured hockey at times, but they struggled to keep this up for the duration of the festival.
They showed potential to improve going into the league season.
Results: Played 8, Won 3, Drew 2, Lost 3.
Netball: Stanford Lake College really excelled in the netball tournaments.
The first day on court was a good start for the girls, the teams were on a high note and worked really hard.
They played and won all three games.
Results:
vs Treverton College 1st Team, 37-1;
vs Dainfern 1st Team, 41-5;
vs Treverton College 2nd Team, 40-0.
The second day was intense and challenging.
The team went in ready with a great mindset and, despite some tough games, they all kept on pushing until the last whistle was blown.
The game against Hillcrest Curro tested all their resources and emotions, but the girls held their heads up high and fought with great heart to produce a strong finish.
Once again, they won all four games played, making their coach, Ms Motsepe, extremely proud.
Results:
vs Thomas More College, 22-3;
vs Development Team, 29-0;
vs Pecanwood College 1st Tea, 34-1;
vs Hillcrest Curro. 21-15.
The next day on court was tough as the girls were exhausted and their muscles were stiff, but they played through these issues and still managed to give their best, winning all three games with big scores all the way.
Results:
vs Treverton , 31-6;
vs Hillcrest Curro, 29-7;
vs Dainfern, 31-1.
The big final day, Stanford played Treverton B and walked away with yet another win: 31-4.
Their coach said, “I am so proud of the girls. What more could a coach ask for in a team that gives their all?”
All players, coaches and parents thoroughly enjoyed the experience and capped off their Treverton trip with a tour dinner at Notties Hotel to celebrate another successful trip.
SLC would like to extend their thanks to the parents for organising this.
