High School girls line-up for netball tournament against Australians

FIVE Year 12 girls from Ballymoney High School were selected for the Coleraine & District Team to play against a touring team from Australia - Lucy Calderwood, Nicola Clyde, Amy Davison, Lauren Marshall and Rebecca Patrick.

The match was played on Monday 27 September at Loreto College.

It was an excellent game with both squads showing some very skillful play and excellent shooting - especially the Australians! The Coleraine & District team played remarkably well having only practiced together on one occasion and with the girls more used to playing against one another than together.
