We’re

This fantastic group of P6 and P7 children took to the court again on Thursday 21st for the 2nd cluster netball festival. Facing stiff opposition from Boghall, who eventually came out on top, they worked hard to get into the game and were pleased to have given their opposition something to think about for the next time we play them. The second game saw us facing Simpson. Defence worked hard to ensure that the Simpson shooters had few chances to scoreand this proved to be the difference as Balbardie took their opportunities so winning the game. Playing against St Mary’s was again a tight game with Kiera scoring in the dying seconds of the game to take the win! With Boghall being held to a draw by Simpson, there is all to play for in the final with Balbardie sitting comfortably in second by one point to Boghall. Roll on the Newlands tournament in May!

Balbardie show off their skills!

The P7 netballers took on Boghall, St Mary’s and Simpson in the second of the cluster netball tournaments this Thursday. As promised by the tournament organiser, there was a tightening of the rules including the footwork and obstruction rules.
The entire team rose to the challenge and the skills on show were excellent with few penalties or free passes given away and some excellent passages of play demonstrated from the defence through to the attack. Sadly, the scores from the 3 games didn’t reflect the skills demonstrated but we will be ready to take on the teams in the final tournament in May and get some more wins under our belt!
