The new Academy netball kit has had a lot of use over the past few weeks. The year 10 and year 11 netballers have started their spring fixtures. They played in a joint fixture against Groby, where we mixed the teams up. Bosworth took an early lead and maintained it throughout the match, to eventually win 6-3. Player of the match was Alice Hammond.

The year 10’s played in the county netball tournament on Wednesday. We came up against some stiff competiton- Loughborough Grammar School, Our Ladies Convent and Oakham. The girls fought until the end playing 3 tought matches but unfortunately did not make it through to the quarter finals. It was a cold night and they showed real spirit to play the way they did in unfavourable conditions! Players of the tournament were Esther Stock and Hannah Pugh.

This week both teams went to William Bradford. A few new faces have joined the team who are new to netball which was brilliant to see. We unfortunately lost the year 10 game but they are a development side at this stage of the year. The year 11 girls are practicing hard for their GCSE Practical Exam in netball so it was really important that they play well together. A new addition to the team was Abby Cresswell who was injured at training was back at GS and what a great addition she was. With Taniche Taylor at GA and Aimee Hamilton at GD, the team was unstoppable. We won convincingly 21-2. Busayo Sanusi and Abby Cresswell get players of the match.
