Woodcroft S&W Netball Champions
Congratulations to the Woodcroft Netball Team who successfully defended their title as Barnet S&W Champions. A tense final against The Orion went into extra time until Woodcroft got the goal that mattered to retain their title!
24 teams from across the South and West of the district competed on a bitterly cold January day. Despite slipping up in a group stage match against Frith Manor, when the net eluded our attackers, we made it through to the quarter finals. Victories followed against Bell Lane and then Goldbeaters put us in the final against The Orion. It turned out to be a very evenly matched game, both sides had chances to win, but after normal time the scores remained level at 1-1. That was when Daniel found his form at the vital moment during the sudden death ‘golden goal’ finale. He confidently slotted home the ball following a swift Woodcroft counter attack. Well done to the entire team who all played their positions wonderfully. We must also congratulate our development B team who performed well in their own group stage games. Thank you to our support staff, coaches Mr Patel, Mr Judd, and first aider Mrs Clark. Training now begins again as we prepare for the borough wide finals next month!
