Netball Reports

Junior A Netball

The Junior A Team had an amazing season being undefeated through rounds 1-6. In round 7 they came up against Domremy who they unfortunately lost to. In the semifinals they played against them again, coming out with a win which then advanced them to the grand finals. In the grand final the team came up against Rosebank, tied at the end of the game as it went into overtime. Sadly they ended up losing by one. But over the entire season they developed new skills and played to the best of their abilities. Although losing to Rosebank, MSCW are still advancing to the Sydney quarterfinals. 

Junior B Netball 

The Junior B Teams faced a challenge at the start of the competition when they had to split their team in half and play with Holy Cross who they had never played or trained with before. This didn’t stop both teams from playing awesomely throughout the competition. Both teams deserved to make it to the final but unfortunately they had to play each other in the semis with a result of a one point difference. One of the teams advanced to the finals to play Rosebank, while the other team played Domremy for third place. They both played so hard even with some players having injuries. The team playing Rosebank were down at half time but came back, but were unlucky to have lost by one point at the final whistle. The team Domremy won. This resulted in the two MSCW teams coming 2nd and 3rd in a close competition. 

Intermediate A 

The Intermediate A Team had an outstanding season, finishing second place in their division while maintaining an undefeated streak in rounds 1-6. The team faced a tough challenge in the 7th round against Domremy, where they experienced their first loss. The girls had to push themselves in this game, which encouraged their development as a team. Throughout the competition, they competed against a total of 7 teams in their division. One of which ended with a score of 47-1. Every team member demonstrated tremendous dedication to each and every game. The girls qualified for the final game against Domremy, which was very close. Despite putting in an outstanding effort, the girls, unfortunately, finished down by one. They showed resilience and strength consistently throughout the entire competition. This week, the girls are fortunate enough to be competing in the quarterfinals. The team is very thankful for this opportunity to represent Marist Sisters and enjoyed every second of this season!

Intermediate B 

The Intermediate Mixed B Teams competed in many awesome games this season and finished overall in first and second place! With our mixed Intermediate B group being spilt into two separate teams combined with Holy Cross College Ryde, our mixed teams competed head-to-head in the grand final. At the conclusion of our game, the score read 21-17 with our Year 9 Intermediate B team 2 taking home a massive win for Marist Sisters and Holy Cross. The team worked extremely well together, while adapting to new positions and game strategies. Each team displayed great determination and consistently maintained heathy sportsmanships with our opponents. As a result of the ongoing effort demonstrated by all players within our Intermediate Mixed B teams, we eagerly embraced the opportunistic experience provided throughout the entire season.

Senior A Netball 

The Senior A Team has had an outstanding season remaining undefeated coming into the finals. With our biggest win being 31-1 in round 7 against Casimir Catholic College. The team versed Domremy College, Trinity Catholic College, Rosebank College, Casimir Catholic College, Holy Spirit Catholic College and other schools. All the girls played to their highest ability and were able to come away with impressive wins. It has been another great experience in netball especially for the Year 12s with this being their last couple of games getting to represent MSCW. The team is hopeful to make it into the semi finals and continue to the grand final for a second year. It was a great pleasure for the senior team to play netball this term!

Senior B Netball 

The senior B Team had a fantastic season this year, finishing 3rd with 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. They started off with a challenging game against Rosebank, drawing 18 all, but followed with 4 consecutive wins, including a 40-3 against Casmir. In round 6, the girls faced the Senior A team, where they experienced a very difficult game and the first loss, but everyone tried their hardest and played amazingly. They finished up the season with more than half the team away and 4 players filling in, but were still able to take home a strong win and third place medal. Unfortunately, as there were 10 teams in our division, they didn’t get the opportunity to participate in finals and missed out on the chance for a Woolwich vs Woolwich grand final. Overall, the girls had an amazing term of netball and enjoyed representing the school each Thursday.
