Junior South Island Secondary Schools Tournament

Emma Goddard —

A big thank you to the coaches, managers, and parent help for giving up their time to take these teams away

On Monday 11 - Wednesday 13 July, the Roncalli 9A and 10A netball teams attended the Junior SISS netball tournament.

This tournament took place at the Hagley netball courts in Christchurch and saw 32 teams from all over the South Island compete at Year 9 and Year 10.

Both teams played three games on Monday and Wednesday. Unfortunately due to horrible weather, Tuesday’s games were cancelled for the safety of the players.

Both teams had a wonderful experience gaining wins throughout the tournament. Our 9A team ended the competition in 24th place and our 10A team in 25th.

A big thank you to the coaches, managers, and parent help for giving up their time to take these teams away.

9A Team 2022: Leah Daly, Madeline Jones, Tyla Kelly, Ruby McNaught, Rhona Pantel, Bella Hopkinson, Caelyn Morrison, Mercedes Ferguson, Grace Daly, and Imogen Young

10A Team 2022: Keita Frisby, Ruby Clark, Kate Simpson, Emily Heke, Emily Thompson, Nellie O’Driscoll, Anabel Scott, Lilly Pelvin and Annika Staniford

Also special thanks to Amy Ellis and Rachel Waldron, our amazing Roncalli umpires giving up their holidays to umpire.
