On Wednesday 6th October, Little Heath A team played in the Yr 6 Hi 5 Tournament at Stanborough School in Welwyn Garden City. Hi 5 is slightly different to normal seven- a- side netball because you use a smaller ball, there are only five players on the pitch with two off and you play for six minutes then rotate positions.
We hadn't played this game before so didn't know what to expect from the other teams.
Our first game was against Green Lanes and we won 3-1. Next we played Applecroft and won 4-0. The next game was against Holy Family and we won 2-1. We then played Pear Tree and we were 5-0 up when Annie had a really bad nose bleed and all games were stopped. The rest of the game was re-played and we managed to win. Our last game of the group was against a hard school called Countess Anne but we still won 3 -0.
We were in the Semi-final against Northaw. We won 3-0
We were in the final against Springmead school!!!
We kept our cool and won 5 - 1.
We didn't know it but we were then told we had qualified to represent Welwyn and Hatfield County in the Championships next May!
Well done to all the team and thanks to all the parents who came and supported us and to Jane and Georgina for coaching us.
Go Little Heath!!
Annie Eales and Emily Heidrich
