U18 Netball - Second Year of Championship Success
19 September 2008
The Marist Senior School U18 Netball Team has won the Ascot Senior Schools Championships. The team also won the event as U16’s last year. The girls played exceptionally well and were unbeaten in all nine games against other schools during the tournament which took place on 18th September.
The school has a reputation for excellent netball with Years 7–9 and Year 11 teams all having won the Ascot Schools Netball Tournaments last year. Sophia Candappa, 16, is also a member of both the England Under 17 and Under 21 Netball squads. Mrs Jen Bishopp, head of PE at the Marist Senior School said “the girls played exceptionally well and showed outstanding team work. The scores they achieved were all the more impressive given that each match was only 5 minutes long! I’m very proud of them to have won the tournament again. We look forward to defending the title next year.”
