Season up and running for Shimna netball teams

Ms Doyle writes: “Our netball teams have busy since half term. Last week, our Juniors had a convincing victory against Cookstown High School, winning 15 goals to 8. The attacking players, Amy, Jane and Molly scored consistently. Mid-court players Isabella, Zoe, Mia and Bonnie-May provided the shooters with plenty of scoring opportunities. The defence, led by Lana and assisted by Mollie, played with great determination and spirit, to block the Cookstown attack.”

“Meanwhile, our Minor teams took part in a four-team event, winning against St. Mary's Newry, drawing against St. Joseph's Donaghmore and losing against St. Malachy's. All games were close and the girls played with great determination and spirit. Star players were Molly, Rosa, Catarina and Connie-Beth in attack. The centre court players of Ruth, Alex, Shannon, Phoebe and Mia all supplied the attacking players with scoring opportunities. The defence was led by Lana and well supported by Aoife and Mollie.”

Well done to all of our teams.
