Netball Tournament

On the 27th of November, the Kings' netball team went to DESS for a tourment that they would remember for a long time. Two people from our class went to the tournament, Sophie P. and Danielle L., playing GS(Goal Shooter) and GK(Goal Keeper). After a very long drive the Kings' team finally arrived. Only one problem. The balls were with the 2 people who hadn't arrived yet! Just as the tournament was about to start they arrived, so we could have a quick practise. We were playing second, so after one match we were on! The football team turned up about half way through, and provided some(not very) helpful encouragement. We were goalless for the first match as we were playing against a very strong team. We had a wait of nearly an hour while 6 matches were played. In our next match Sophie got Man of the Match after some very strong defence in goal. We had another long wait but then we were up against JAPS. They beat us but Amirah D. got Man of the Match. The next match seemed to go really quickly with a draw against SES, and Amirah getting MOM(Man of the Match again). Our last match was goalless again, but Amirah got her final MOM. The final was a fight to the finish between DESS and JESS but JESS triumphed with a 3-2 win. The presentation was quiet as only 3 teams were there. Us, JESS and DESS were the only ones who stayed. JESS got their trophy that they deserved so much and DESS got their runners up certificate. Then the Player of the Tournament was announced. It was Amirah D., of Kings! We were all so happy for her and she really deserved it after some very strong attack.
It was our first tournament and though we were goaless we all had a great time.
