Last Saturday the U18’s played two games back-to-back against Monivae Yellow and Blue. In the first game the girls put up a strong challenge to Monivae Yellow, making it hard for them to get the ball down the court.  However, Monivae took the win with a score of 21-26. In the second game, the College girls were ready to win and throughout the whole game were constantly contesting for the ball. Although it was still a challenging game against Monivae Blue, with all the girls tired from the previous game, the hard work paid off with a 38-8 win.  Thanks to Georgina and Alice for filling in for the second game.

The U15 girls played Monivae Red on Saturday in a fast-paced and highly contested match. It was great to see their confidence when moving towards the ball and they consistently backed each other up on the court. Their skills continue to improve each week, and it’s great to see them having fun playing together. Well done girls on a solid 24-13 win.
