Bedwell Netball Team has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with over the last few years, winning the Stevenage League three times in six years. This year has been a particularly successful one, with teams in action in both the Girls and Mixed leagues - you can find out more about how we've got on below...
Season update - June
Our two netball teams had an equally busy end to their seasons. The Mixed Netball team ended their undefeated year with a comfortable win at Woolenwick, and as a result won their league. Meanwhile, the Girls Netball team were in the hunt for the league title at Easter, but faced some tricky matches against the top teams in town to finish the season. One goal losses in really tight games against St Margarets, Shephalbury Park and St Nicholas saw them finish 5th out of 14 schools. Throughout the year, the girls represented our school with energy, determination and courage, with some of the team playing over 20 competitive matches, and they have been a great advertisement for Bedwell in every game.
Season update - March
Both our Year 5/6 Girls and Year 5/6 Mixed teams remain undefeated this season after a series of hugely impressive displays. Thanks to some amazing shooting from Ceyda, Millie, Jahrell and Cairo we have scored over 100 goals already this season, while our formidable defence of Grace, Bella and Riley have made it tough for oppositions to score more than one or two against us! Rounding out the teams, Madhumitha, Lucas Ella and Mia keep driving us forward in mid-court, quickly winning back possession and keeping the ball away from our defensive third. Both squads have some challenging games left to play, but are hoping to end the season with medals all round!
Season update - December
Our two Year 5/6 netball teams have started the season in amazing fashion, with wins for both the Girls and Mixed teams. The Girls dominated their first game, winning by a wide margin and showing the fantastic potential they have for success this year. The Mixed team then followed this up with an impressive 3-2 win over Ashtree, consistently one of the strongest teams in town, with a great display of focus and resilience.
