The week in sport

Sports Review

Published Friday 1st April 2022

Read the latest sporting news from Queen Margaret's. This week: staff vs students netball (the rematch!), House Omnikin, and National Schools Tennis.

Staff vs Students Netball

The much anticipated rematch of staff vs students Netball was played this week with great support across the year groups.

With new player Mr Aston taking to the court, nothing could stop the staff linking the ball well to goal.

Missing one of their shooters, many of the students put up a good fight in GA, but unfortunately it was not quite enough. At the final whistle, staff heads remain high for the second time, victorious once more.

House Omnikin

This week saw the first QM house Omnikin competition. It was excellent to see all the girls involved working hard and striving for the win. Overall results:

Winners-Pitlochry - Captained by Lara (UVI)

Star team-School

Star Captain-Duncan - Lily (UVI)

Star Player- Hall - Millie (UVI)

Star Player - St Aidans - Ruby (Year V)

Star Player- Pitlochry - Lucy (UVI)

Star Player- Garry - Caragh (UVI)

Tennis

On Thursday 27th April, our U18 team of Daphne (UVI), Florence (Year V), Nancy (UVI) and Ellie (UVI) competed in the National Schools against South Hunsley (Hull).

Hunsley had a very strong team, but we competed well against them and enjoyed playing some great tennis -it was like being at Wimbledon!

South Hunsley won, however it was a delight to watch our players perform so well.

On a side note, it's wonderful to see the courts looking immaculate again after some cleaning and painting TLC during the Easter holiday!
