It was the first time that the Ursuline had taken part in a mixed Netball Tournament. The boys complimented the team and make a significant contribution to the games. The team won every game except against the home team Bancroft, which they drew.

Both the boys and girls were delighted to take home the winners medals and shield.
Football and Netball Update October 2011
The girls from Upper Two played in a High 5 netball match on Wednesday 4th October against Mountnessing Primary School and won 23 -1 ! This is the first time the team played High 5 netball as the rules are different to seven a side netball and players have to follow a rotation system where they play all different positions. Therefore, our shooters were playing in defence and in the centre circle which was very alien to them. The defenders and wing players had to shoot which was quite daunting for some but surprisingly all the girls played extremely well and the results reflects the high standard of netball we have at The Ursuline. Well done to all.
On Tuesday 11th October the boys played a friendly football match against Mountnessing. The game proved to be action packed, with us hitting the cross bar and upright. Unfortunately we were not quite able to equalise and finally lost the game 2-1.

We won every match: 11/1; 10 /1; 8 / 3; 8 / 0; 3 / 2 which took us to the semi-finals to meet Widford Lodge. This game was extremely exciting as each goal scored by both teams kept the score level.

Unfortunately, we missed 4 crucial goals under pressure and ended up losing 6 -1. All the girls played exceptionally well and were extremely motivated. So well done for coming runners up out of 14 schools and walking away with a medal and heads held high!
