Ben's Blog

The week before last, Ben had a Netball tournament for school. It was held at Heles School in Plympton from 15:00 to 17:00.  He is now Captain of the team!!

They did extremely well but somehow ended up runners up even though they won 4 out of 5 games and drew 1-1 with the school that won.  Apparently, Plymstock School, who won it, had scored more goals than Bickleigh, but the teachers weren’t convinced about this! Ben scored 2 goals in one game as well to help them win it 2-0 and actually had an opposing team’s parent go up to Kelly and ask if he was her boy and that he was a very good player! Awesome! Annoyingly, they had to rotate the team each game using pre-planned subs but Miss Ingram (the Netball teacher) said Ben would have played every game if he was allowed to and that now that he had scored 1 goal, he wouldn’t miss! It sounds like Ben is the best player, which is pretty good, considering he only started playing Netball a year ago.

There will be more Netball tournaments in the New Year so hopefully Ben can keep it up and do well!
