Year 4 Cotswold Mātāhae Swish Netball Team

Future Ferns Netball Team "Cotswold Swish" are made up of Arlia, Isabelle, Evie, Charlotte, Kyla, Elsie, Emmie, Eden, Olivia and Elizabeth.    

We had such a fun season down at the Hagley Courts on a Friday afternoon! 

Miss Lineton and myself have really enjoyed coaching an enthusiastic group of girls and we have loved seeing their confidence grow on the court. 

We would like to thank parents and whānau for their support, with a special mention to Jacinda Jackson for helping coach the girls.
