St Marys School Netball Team- CNA Winter Season Competition (Tuesday nights)

After a challenging game last week that saw their first loss of the season, St Mary’s took to the court on Tuesday night with a point to prove. The team started slow finishing the first quarter down by 2. A few positional changes and a confident team chant saw the girls take control of the game keeping Cutters to 3 goals for the rest of the match and taking the win, 19-7.

 The girls remain at the top of the ladder, playing their next game at 7.30pm next Tuesday.
