Deanesfield Primary School

Netball
1995/6 Netball Team	The 1997 netball tournament was held at our school. I was shaking like mad. The first match was quite hard. I was freezing. In the last match we were against really tall girls. We tried our best, but lost! In the practices we used to play each other. Once I fell over when I caught the ball and just missed a big puddle.
Both the 1998 A and B team tournaments were held at Harlyn School. It was a very hot day. The first match that we played was Bourne. Bourne had already played a match so we were hoping that they felt worn out. We beat Bourne. Mrs Lomax was very excited. Next we played Newnham. Caroline looked worried but at the same time tried to look fierce to put off her opponent. We drew with Newnham. We didn't have much time until we played the next match. Mrs Lomax said 'Good luck,' and hurried us onto the pitch. We played as hard as we could, but the bell went and we lost. The last team we played was Glebe. Caroline and Sophie got a lot of goals. We won! It was now between Glebe and Newnham. If Glebe won, we would get into the quarter finals and Newnham wouldn't. If Newnham won by a 5 goal difference, we wouldn't get through. We were all cheering for Glebe, even Mrs Lomax was. Newnham got goal after goal. In the end the bell went. Newnham had won 11 - 1. We didn't get into the quarter finals. Helen (Y6) B team netball tournament at Harlyn I am 10 years old. I go to netball practice every Monday and Tuesday dinnertime. At practice we always learn how to do new moves. Once at netball practice one of the the infants made one of the other girls laugh so when she threw the ball it hit someone on the head and she started to laugh. I was in the B team at the tournament. I was goal shooter but normally I'm wing attack. We lost but at lest we tried. We played lots of other schools in Hillingdon. When I threw the ball my shoe fell off and everyone was laughing. Aiysha (Y6) B team tournament - it was cold and drizzly
