The netball team have won all their matches so far in the Holsworthy High Five

netball league; and so were chosen to represent the Holsworthy Learning

Community in the North Devon round of the County Championship. They

braved high winds and rain to play at Bideford College along with the top 15

teams from across North Devon. They excelled themselves against strong

competition and didn’t lose a match in the first round in the morning.

After a lunch spent sitting on the playground in the rain they progressed to

the semi finals where they came across Kingsacre School and, despite taking an

early lead, suffered their first loss. This meant they went into the playoffs where they finished a very creditable 6th out of 16, which is a fantastic

achievement for such a small school. Despite the atrocious weather and lack of

shelter the children kept going to the end, we are very proud of them.

Kingsacre were one of the eventual 2 winners going through to next round.
