Netball
HERSCHEL GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL – FIRST LEAGUE MATCH 3
A beautiful day at Rustenburg for our makeup fixture against Herschel U19A and B. Both our U19 teams looked extremely nervous in the beginning, but pulled through and displayed some quality Netball. The second team had a great game and comfortably beat Herschel U19B by 4 goals.
The first team had a slow start in the beginning, but picked up their performance in the second and third quarters, leading by 5 goals at 20-15 after the third. Herschel then scored 6 goals in the fourth quarter with real determination to earn the draw, but our First team held on to the final whistle, edging victory 22-21.
Results vs Herschel Girls’ High School were as follows:
| Opponent | Result | Scores |
| U19 B | Won | 16-12 |
| U19 A | Won | 22-21 |
Well done to our U19 A&B teams!
