SOUTH ISLAND SECONDARY SCHOOLS’ JUNIOR NETBALL TOURNAMENT

In the first week of the July school holidays Papanui High School entered a team in the South Island Schools’ Junior Netball Tournament which was held here in Christchurch from the 8th-11th July.  This team was formed just before the tournament playing in the Combined Grade (Year 9/10 Boys/Girls).  They grew from strength to strength each game and played some great netball.  The team finished the tournament in 15th place out of 32 teams entered.  

A big thank you to Rebecca Edmonds who did an amazing job coaching the team and developing their skills along with Debbie Gillett who managed the team and was their “go to person” throughout the tournament.
