Netball

= Match Report =

On Saturday 30th October 2010, 12 students, Ms. Byfield and Ms. White drove to BISS Pudong to participate in this year’s annual SISAC Netball Tournament. 5 teams took part in the tournament: BISS Pudong; Dulwich College (Division 1 and 2); SRIS (Rego) and our school’s team of 12 players. First of all, the teams began a warm up of stretches and drills. After this, each of the teams competed against each other in a series of games lasting 30 minutes with 5 minute half-time breaks; during these breaks the coaches gave the players commendation and constructive feedback about their tactics and previous play. By the end of the first game, many members of the team were pink-faced and out of breath, but were still eager to continue playing to the best of their ability. The opposition was however a little daunted by Taylor Harriot’s height and blocking tactics. After the games the scores were tallied and the two teams with the most points competed against each other. These teams were Dulwich 1 and 2. During this game, BISS Puxi’s team watched their techniques and strategies in order to learn more for the upcoming ACAMIS tournament held on the 4th - 6th of November.

**Match report** On 27th February the under 14’s netball team had 2 away games at Dulwich College, Pudong. Sadly we were one player down which hindered our performance. We lost both games, the final scores were: Dulwich 5 – BISS 4, and Dulwich 9 – BISS 3. The team consisted of: C – Chloe Kippax-Chui GS – Julia Bauerschmidt GK – Alessa Voight WA – Sarah Anderson GA – Barbara Wildmann GD – Charlotte Herbertz Although we lost both games everyone tried their best and the player of the games was Charlotte with lots of good defending. Her defending was amazing, barely ever letting the ball pass her, she made some great interceptions. Our goal shooter Julia made some amazing shots, scoring all of the goals throughout the games. Our goal attack although she did score, managed to get the rebounds and give Julia a chance to get in space and shoot. Everyone did really well! Well done guys we’ll get them next time!
