Columba bags historic win!

Miss D Turnbull —

Its been a long time coming, many can't quite remember the last time we won prefect netball this convincingly. A strong start to the Prefect netball seen Columba take a 6-0 lead against JMC early on and never look back!

Sports Prefect Harriett Cuttance led from the front and was extremely comfortable with ball in hand, shooting from all areas of the attacking circle. She was supported well by current and past Senior A Stars Maia Joseph, Jess Cowie and Lucy Goodeve. A surprise talent crept out of the woodwork in the form of Isabelle Coe nailing almost 100% of her shots and Tessa Campbell pulled in some timing intercepts to keep Columba ahead. 

In the end, every Prefect contributed to the overall result which saw Columba prevail 24-16 on an impressive looking scoreboard. 

As always - Grace Walding, Nikita Peterson-Solomon, Olivia Fowler and Holly Friedlander provided quality banter on the microphone commentating the game and ensuring everyone was smiling throughout. 

Mrs Sinclair and Mr Sparrow proved crucial in getting the crowd involved forming a Mexican wave and lifting the cheer level, getting louder with each quarter that passed.

Well done to John McGlashan College for putting up a good fight and playing until the final whistle. These games are always played in good spirit and strong sportsmanship mixed with team camaraderie shining through both schools!
