The day had fi nally arrived, Staff vs. Fifth Year netball challenge. After a week of uncertainty and a lot of bragging from both sides the tension was high as seven students and seven members of staff assembled on the netball courts. For most of the students the outcome of this match seemed pretty certain, after all our team are known to be a tough challenge. The A game started with both teams scoring freely and by half time the students were only two points ahead. The staff were playing well, but that did not stop the students from maintining their lead into the second half, and the fi nal score was 12- 10 in favour of the girls. Some might fi nd this score surprising given the relaxed attitude to rules at certain times (ahem...staff) but their teamwork did prove diffi cult to beat. The B game was played in an excellent spirit and both defences proved very hard to break down resulting in a fi nal scoreline of 0-0. Well done to the staff and remember, as long as you played the best you could play, that is all that matters.
