Silver Medals for Netball 1st Team

On Wednesday, our netball 1st team became runners up in the National Netball Plate Final. The squad travelled up to Bromsgrove School to face St Peter’s School, York in the final of the Sisters N Sport competition. Over 11,000 players and 960 teams entered the competition and Caterham made it to the final 2 knocking out Esher College, Surbiton High, Eltham College, Royal Russell and Mill Hill School along the way. 

Despite some first quarter nerves Caterham came out flying taking an early lead but by half time things were levelled at 20-20. A tricky quarter 3 and some unforced errors allowed St Peter’s to pull away and despite drawing the final quarter we didn’t do enough to steel the win back. 

Some of this squad have been playing together since they were in the prep school and we say goodbye to our Upper Sixth pupils who wore the Caterham netball dress for the final time. 

Caterham have never made a netball final before and this special group of athletes will go down in the history books as national silver medalists. Here we go, NetCats!
