As the Football and Netball term draws to a close, there is much to be excited about for the future. As I had said previously, the buzz a fixture creates is a wonderful sight. But it is even more pleasing when the children are noticing improvements in their own ability across the term. The Year 3 and 4 boys continued to show improvements, losing only once from 5 matches they had played, against schools of a greater size than us. The girls took part in their first ever tournaments and whilst it was certainly a steep learning curve, it will stand them in good stead moving forward, especially those girls who play a year up. It is important though, that the children do not rest on their laurels, but now focus on the switch to hockey for next term, where again, we will want to see improvements as the term progresses. This is not the end of football and netball though, there are two ISA regional tournaments which we have entered into next term for the first time. Let us hope the excellent work they children have done this term continues next term and beyond.
