Local netball teams enjoy tournament at Lisnagarvey High

THE annual primary schools netball tournament took place in Lisnagarvey High School on Friday February 1.

In total 13 teams took part in what was an exciting, competitive and fun-filled afternoon.

Some impressive netball skills were shown throughout the tournament by several pupils but the most impressive girl, who won player of the tournament, was Blythe Gill from Riverdale Primary School. Blythe was very dominant on the centre of the court for her team and she was able to pass and intercept a lot of balls to help her team to the semi-finals, where they were beaten by Pond Park.
