SLC participate in Easter Festivals
Stanford Lake College Netball team started off phenomenally well and the girls have certainly set themselves a high standard for the rest of the season
Walking into the Treverton festival as the smallest school, we knew that we had a challenge on our hands; however, as per usual, our girls never gave up and fought until the final whistle in every game they played. Our first match was against the hosts, Treverton.
The girls started off slowly, but picked up to dominate the last few quarters and finished 10 goals ahead. The second day saw the girls continuing the trend, wining both of their matches and finishing the day with a fantastic win against Woodhill 25-10. One of our closest games in terms of matched skills’ levels, was against Dainfern College. Again it started off very closely contested, but the second half was a different story when the girls found their rhythm and we finished 9 goals ahead.
Overall, they won five out of their six matches. Makungu Valoyi led the team with confidence and consistently performed to a high standard throughout the weekend. Every single player deserves to be congratulated and should be proud of their achievements. They showed maturity on the court and displayed sheer determination and perseverance throughout the festival.
SLC’s hockey boys also had a successful tour to Treverton despite many injuries occurring during the festival. The boys played some very attractive hockey and moved the ball with good pace, especially on the first two days. They played 7 games during the festival – winning 4, drawing 1 and losing 2. Great depth was displayed in the boy’s team as many players were called on to step up to fill the positions of injured players. They were able to compete with competence and worked hard with commitment and spirit to the very last seconds of the festival games.
