On Thursday the U12 girls played against Grammar School at Leeds to qualify for the top 16 in the country. Everyone was motivated to win and put 100% into every move we made.

In the first quarter, we began strongly and confidently and within seconds we turned over a Leeds centre pass. The first half of the game was rapid and tiring, with attacking play going at great speed and the defensive end grabbing every opportunity to turn over the ball. Thia lead us to a comfortable lead at halftime.

We began the second half relaxed and focused. Although Leeds were starting to bring the ball through court more successfully, we still managed to make a lot of interceptions. Attack did a great job of passing into the shooting circle confidently to Ruby and Ava. The final score was 38-14 to Yarm and we are now through to the next round of the Sisters N Sport Cup.

Thanks to our coaches who helped and inspired us along the way. We cannot wait for our next game!
