Manor House School

Our Under 16s played their Premier Division Basketball Final on 7 March 2018 against Mount Sackville and won!! In was a very close encounter for most of the game until the final quarter where the Manor House girls worked extremely well as a team and pulled clear with scores from Jade McGovern and Robyn Malone (Captain). The girls have played brilliantly all year and this victory was very well deserved! Robyn Malone was awarded Most Valuable Player for her outstanding leadership and performance during the match. Well done girls!! Thanks to their coach, Ms Wilson. It was also wonderful to see Ms Cassidy cheering the team on.

Our basketball players have been very busy playing matches before and after Christmas. The U16, U19 and 2nd year teams all recorded wins recently, so well done girls! Our U16s now progress to the semi-final stage of their competition. The U19s were unlucky to just miss out on a semi-final spot. Our 2nd year team still has a number of matches to play before reaching the quarter-final and semi-final stage. We wish them the very best of luck! The 1st year team will commence matches shortly. Here are some recent results.

• Manor House U19: 24      Mount Sackville: 21
