Each of the five district High 5 winners came together to compete in the Gloucestershire School Games County High 5 Netball Final last Thursday (3 May 2012) at Bentham Country Club.

The King’s Junior School, representing Gloucester, won three games and drew their fourth in the round-robin competition to be crowed the School Games County High 5 Champions.

Natalie Coates, Games Teacher at The King’s Junior School, said “I am very proud of the High 5 netball team for winning both the Gloucester and County 2012 Netball Tournaments. They are a very talented group of children who have trained and played hard throughout the season.”

Last Saturday saw four teams clash in the finals of Gloucestershire's Bateman Shield and Per Ardua competitions, held at Bentham Country Club. Throughout these knockout competitions teams have started with initial handicaps based on their league positions, and the finals were no exception.

First it was Upton Ladies who faced an uphill struggle against Randwick C for the Per Ardua title, then later an all-Hucclecote encounter in the Bateman with Hucclecote Lightning battling Hucclecote Thunder.

Both matches were played with great competitive spirit - a great advertisement for netball in Gloucestershire. We look forward to welcoming all four teams to our Presentation Evening next month to receive their trophies.

Per Ardua: Upton Ladies 66 - Randwick C 59
Bateman: Hucclecote Lightning 60 - Hucclecote Thunder 59 (Golden Goal)
