Netball 2013

Irinah girls were on fire during the netball competition that was held on the 20^th February 2013. The competition was postponed many times due to the harsh weather. Fortunately, the competition ended well.  Before the competition we had intense training every day and had only short breaks but all the hard work can never beat us! Sprained ankles and sprained thumbs were common during the practices but recovered instantly and we got back to the game straight away.

Under the blazing sun, we never complained and continue training with all our might. This enthusiasm will never exist without the team’s undying support. Sometimes, caused by the unexpected weather, we had to train in the multi-purpose hall. We had to use basketball nets to play netball because we had no choice. It felt different and this also may affect our netball techniques so the only exercise we can do were drills.

Despite the tiring drills, we will never forget all the hard work from our team coaches. We wouldn’t have won without their professional netball techniques which improved us all. They also gave goodie bags to the netballers to give us more hope to win. We would also like to express our greatest gratitude to our housemistress and house tutors that accompanied us all during practices.

During the day of the competition, everyone was having fun supporting their own houses. We, Irinians brought orange pom-poms and a dragon hat which represented us. All the non-netballers put all their efforts supporting the team and giving out waters for those who were playing.

 

The junior team won the tournament convincingly while the senior team won the 1^st runner up position. Congratulations for the Irinah netballers! All our hard training has been paid off. We hope we will win the championship for both, senior and junior teams in 2014! Once an Irinian, always an Irinian.
