Week 2 sports roundup...
Netball vs Monkton Coombe School
We had a fantastic block fixture against Monkton Coombe School on Saturday. The 1st Team had the best start to any match at King's that I have seen so far in my time here. They pulled away in the first quarter and played fantastically for the rest of the game, with each combination playing extremely well together to win 39-28. Player of the Match for her consistency and accuracy of shot was India.
The 2nd Team played very well to win 31-23. Player of the Match was Grace.
The 3rd Team also won 18-9, with both Liv and Bella playing very well.
The U15 Team had much tougher games against a very strong year group, with the A team playing very well but losing 11-34 and the B’s 9-29. Players of the Match were Emily and Cara.
The U14 Team played with more confidence this week, resulting in 2 great games for the 3rd Form. The A’s won 27-8, with Ashton and Polly both getting Player of the Match and the B’s won 15-5 with Mae the Player of the Match.
