Paris International Netball Festival

For the third time in recent years, SGG sent a squad of Netballers to the International Netball tournament in Paris. This trip proves to be very popular with any pupils as it mixes netball with Disneyland. What's not to like! This year it was an S2/3 combined team who went down to compete in the u14 competition. This was the strongest team we have sent to the competition due to some birthdays falling after the cut-off. Mr MacCorquodale and Miss Burgess accompanied the girls down to Paris and after the week was done both were full of praise for the girls, their effort, behaviour and their attitudes were absolutely outstanding all week. We couldn't praise them enough. On top of that the girls not only qualified for the Gold section cup but also finished in 3rd place overall. The only game they lost on the whole trip was to the eventual winners, our friends from Australia! The netball the girls played was exceptional and they really raised their game at the tournament. As well as picking up a trophy for third the girls also received the spirit of the games umpire award which is a real testament for how sporting, well behaved, supportive and respectful our team were. This award is actually SGG's second at the games with our last trip also receiving the same trophy, the netballers are really putting SGG's name out there in such a positive way! Well done girls on being so fantastic all week, thank you!
