Netball Shield Finals
On Thursday 18th April 2024, a group of year 6 children attended the netball finals at Northstowe Secondary College. The children had previously played in two rounds of smaller tournaments to qualify so had done exceptionally well to get this far.
The tournament consisted of 15 schools and the standard of netball from all the schools was very high. Initially the schools were split into 4 pool and our team won all their games in their pool so went through to play all the other winners.
The other winners included Swavesey, Willingham and Barton. These games were very competitive but Histon shone through and won the first two games convincingly. The final game was against Swavesey and the winner of this game would be champions of the whole tournament. The game was so close and it was literally goal for goal. During the last minute Swavesey scored to make the score 3-2 and Histon just ran out of time to equalise. It was such a great game to watch and so exciting. Well done to Swavesey for a great fight to the end. It meant that we finished second in the tournament which is a brilliant achievement.
The Histon team were fantastic and such a delight to coach. They fought for every ball and their effort did not dwindle right to the end. Well done to all the players and thank you to the parents/carers for transporting the children to and from the tournament.
