Semi Final Awaits for Fendalton B Saturday Netball team

Playing in Christchurch Netball Centre’s Saturday competition in the Under 11 grade, Fendalton B pulled off a memorable victory at the weekend to go through to a semi-final next Saturday. Needing to win or draw against St Nicholas to go through, the team had a very nervous start and seemed to have lost the great form they have shown in recent weeks. Down by 3-6 at half-time and trailing 7-9 at three quarter time, in the final quarter it all came together in superb fashion with Fendalton B racking up seven unanswered goals to win by 14-9. An excellent team performance, with everyone making a great contribution. This Saturday’s semi-final is against Thorrington A, a team that Fendalton B played last term for a 13-13 draw, so it is likely to be a big challenge, but one the girls can overcome if they can continue on from the final quarter of the game on Saturday.

Chess Success

Well done to all of our 32 players who played in a day long Chess Tournament at school on Wednesday. Our E team won the B Grade and our A team were second in the A Grade. Both teams had a crucial game in their final match in Round 7 as they were first equal with one game to play. It was very exciting!

Thanks to our mums, especially Elizabeth Gregory, who supported us during the day and to all the children who were superbly behaved and tried their hardest.
