Somersfield Middle School Netball Triumphs Over Warwick Academy
Our Middle School netball teams who were victorious in hard fought matches against Warwick Academy in the league today.
The O13s were down early as Warwick Academy had a strong start. However they came back just in time in the fourth quarter to narrowly win 9-8. We were missing standout Goal Keeper Leilani Carpol, however, new Goal Defense Riley Jones was outstanding making numerous interceptions throughout the game. Sharp shooter Milena Millett was on fire scoring lots of goals. Captain Emily Paulos was all over the court, as was Center Sienna Harper. Yhari Goater-Jones and Zoei Burgess connected well to channel the ball to the attackers. Isla Sherratt and Margot Taylor came up with some crucial plays throughout the game.
The U13s started strong with the unstoppable duo of Cali Atcheson-Greenidge and Freida Valli scoring 4 goals in the first quarter. Centers Elena Bortoli and Elle Fontanetta had excellent link play along with wings Evelyn Fahy, and Jeanne Prabis. In defense, Ameina Soares, Nova Darrell and Maddie Branco were flying all over the court to stop Warwick. Warwick staged a comeback in the middle of the game before Somersfield pulled away at the end for a final score of 12-8.
Congratulations to the girls, and to their coaches Naomi Crofton, Dezirae Darrell, Nishika Bisht, Taliah Wade and Debré Evans. Thank you also to Cathrina Aguilar, Allison Farrell and Emma Moran-Lee for their help with the team.
