Tuesday 25 January – Year 11 netball v Stanway
Our Year 11 girls worked hard in their netball match against Stanway this week. It was a very close game with some great play by all. Sadly the girls were defeated 22-14 but still a great result and some fantastic attacking play! Well done.

Wednesday 26 January – Year 9 basketball v Stanway
The Year 9 basketball team took on Stanway in a fast and furious match last night. Stanway converted a few opportunities on goal to take the lead early on, but the St Mary’s team were quick to come back, with Imogen and Suri scoring some good baskets.
Stanway increased their lead as the game went on, mostly as they had a bigger team to make subs and continue at the pace set. All of the Year 9 team played with maximum effort and should be proud of themselves despite the end score being a 34-20 defeat.
