Ruby Roberts trialled really well but unfortunately missed out this year, although to be chosen to trial as a younger player was an achievement in itself.

2024 NETBALL FAST 5

On the 19th of March, a group of keen netballers from year 10, 11 and 12 headed over to the netball courts for a day full of fun games. The day looked promising, with 3 St Johns teams praying together to hopefully bring home the win. Each team played 6 games on the day, against 2 Shoalhaven High teams, 1 Bomaderry High team and a fierce Dapto High school team.

Matt Page

Our 3 St Johns teams gave their all on the day, coming home with at least one win for each team. However, the Dapto High and St Johns green team stood out from the rest as they both won all of their games until the final. These two teams battling at the end of the day was a match everyone wanted to watch. After a vigorous and intense game, with many questionable remarks thrown at the Johnnies team, the St John's green team managed to bring it home, defeating Dapto and came first overall.

Jess deWit

Congratulations to the Green team for their success, as well as our Red team who came third on the day, finishing on the podium. We were all very proud to see our purple team made up of year 12 students, giving it their all and making the most of a great day. All of the players would like to give big thanks to Mr Gray for coaching all the teams with training sessions, as well as Mrs Frew who came along on the day to be Mr Gray’s personal assistant.
