The Parktown Girls’ netball 1st team achieved a significant milestone by placing second in the school league and showcasing remarkable talent and resilience in the recent school netball playoffs.
Their first play-off match against Fochville was a resounding success, ending with a confident 31–18 victory. This win secured their place in the second round and boosted their morale ahead of a challenging series of matches.
On May 31 and June 1, the team travelled to Ruimsig, eager to compete for the top spot in Gauteng. Their first match was a nail-biter against Hoërskool Linden. In a game with spectators on the edge of their seats, Parktown emerged victorious with a close 24–22 win. However, the following matches proved to be more challenging. Despite their best efforts, the team lost to Northcliff High School, Hoërskool Florida, and TrinityHouse Randpark Ridge.
Though their journey in the playoffs ended sooner than hoped, the Parktown netball 1st team has much to be proud of. Their determination and skill have earned them a commendable place among Gauteng’s top teams. Ending the season on a high note, they have set a strong foundation for future success. The experience gained and the victories celebrated will fuel their drive for the next season.
