Priory 12 - 1 Kings Norton Girls
It would appear that the year 7 netball team were keen to uphold year 7s "winning" reputation when they ventured out into sub zero temperatures to take on Kings Norton Girls School yesterday. KNGS boast some spectacular results and with over 900 girls on role, a challenge lay ahead. Priory quickly opened the scoring with Siena scoring 7 goals in the first half partnered by Saffah making her debut at Goal Attack. The impenetrable nature of Nicole and Cerise (who moved from Centre to Goal Defence) prevented the opposition from scoring more than one goal. Olivia 'The Powerhouse' Thomas-Tapper making her first appearance at Centre worked tirelessly to feed both shooters and assist the defence. Sharp passing and fast movement secured a fine and well deserved win of 12 goals to 1, with Siena earning Player of the Match for scoring 11 out of the 12 goals.

Priory 12 - 1 Shenley Academy
- The year 7 netball team hosted a game against Shenley Academy yesterday and they were truly devastating!! ……..Devastatingly GOOD that is! They opened the scoring very quickly going 3-0 up within the first two minutes of the game. As time progressed the pupils continued to pass the ball at lightning speed, leaving their opponents looking on in admiration. At half time the score lay at 5-0. In the second half nothing could stop the shooters from putting the ball through the hoop. Goal by goal, Priory destroyed Shenley’s hopes of actually scoring until three minutes before time a penalty was awarded which allowed the opposition to score. Nonetheless the work already done was enough to secure a fine and well deserved 12-1 victory! Beautiful netball girls, well done. Player of the match: Olivia Thomas-Tapper. The following pupils must meet Miss Mazzocchi in the gym at 1.40pm today for a team photo: Siena, Olivia, Abigail, Cerise, Makeda, Jada, Nicole, Saffah, Ananta and Ikra.
Wednesday 9th November:
Priory 3 - 0 St Pauls
- The Year 7 netball team gave another excellent display of netball against St. Paul's. The wall like solidity of Saffah and Nicole in defence allowed the opposition only ONE shot at goal during the entire game. Although in attack, attempts at goal were plentiful, the shooting combination of Siena and Olivia converted 3 early shots but were then denied any further goals by their opposing players. Defenders Ananta and Makeda took some great interceptions with attackers Abigail and Jada worked hard to get the ball to the shooters. Not forgetting the tireless efforts of Cerise at 'centre' working her socks off to link both ends of the court together. Well done girls.....another well deserved win!! Miss Mazzocchi.

Priory 8 - 4 King Edwards Five Ways
- Congratulations to the year 7 netball team who had a ferocious start to their season in the Kings Norton District League. The team hosted a match against King Edwards Five Ways and within the first five minutes of the game went three goals ahead. Excellent shooting from Siena Henson saw Priory score seven goals in the first half, whilst the solid defense of Nicole Hume-McKay prevented the visiting team from scoring more than three. At half time a nervous Ananta Mangat and Jada Wilson came on to play WA and WD and whilst they found it hard to settle, Priory scored one more goal to make the score 8-3. A dubious penalty against Saffah allowed King Edwards to convert their final shot, leaving the final score 8-4 in Priory’s favour. Well done girls! Look out Edgbaston………Priory are in town! Player of the match: Siena Henson.
