Urdd Netball Competition

Congratulations to the girls who competed in the Urdd Netball tournament last November in Cardiff. There were around 40 school’s competing in every year group. Once again the girls represented the school, with great success.

• Year 7 and 8 done really well, and have obviously gained form the experience. Well done!
• Year 9 and 10 girls did well to reach the semi final – by wining their 8 pool games easily: v’s St Teilo, 9-0; v’s Cwmtawe, 6-3; v’s cymer, 7-0, v’s Gwynllyw, 7-2; v’s Bishopgore, 5-2; v’s Corpus Christie, 6-5; v’s Bro Morgannwg, 4-3; v’s Glantaf 2-0. They then came up against Glan y Mor in the next round, and won by 5 goals to 2, then onto Cwm Rhymni in the semi final. The game was very close throughout, but they lost in the last minute by 1 goal. Huge congratulations to you girls!
• The Year 11 – 13 girls did remarkably well as they competed against many 6th form colleges. Here are the results, and even though they lost every game, they were very close, and the girls have benefited from their experience; v’s St David’s College, 3-5; v’s Pencoed College, 4-5; v’s St Cennydd, 5-6; v’s Ystalyfera, 3-6; v’s Carmarthenshire college, 6-4. Well done!
