Our team has proved to be strong as we have only lost one match with two left to go. We are all playing well and have vital parts in the team. We have strengthened our friendships and continue to improve our skills to make our gameplay better! The opposing teams have been tough competitors however, we have worked well as a team and are winning! We all communicate and work well together which are key factors for a successful team. We all hope to continue playing netball after we leave Chantry!
