School wins the new Netball Trophy

On 7th September 2024 a spirited group of alumni gathered on the familiar school courts for the much-anticipated annual Netball game. Whilst the clouds threatened rain, the court luckily stayed dry as the alumni took on the students. With a full team this year, we were relieved to have some subs on the bench - much appreciated given our slightly reduced fitness levels since leaving Worth - and we spanned an impressive age range, including three sets of siblings - the Rileys, Brownings and Glovers.

Despite our best efforts, the school team managed to secure a 16-9 victory by the final whistle. Both teams played with great spirit, and the match was closely contested throughout, with plenty of excitement and support from the sidelines. Afterwards players and supporters headed to the School's Welcome Festival on the Austin Oval for some well-earned food and drink and the prize giving, with the Head Master accepting the new trophy on behalf of the school team.

A big thank you to everyone who participated and cheered on the teams! We can't wait to see what happens in next year's game.
