1st XI v Wellington School - Sat. 23rd Jan. Result: Wellington 1 Shebbear 8

 

Another impressive all round performance brought a second victory in a week for the 1stXI at Wellington on Saturday.

Once again, the midfield pair of Dan Furse and Andy Collier did the damage, scoring 5 goals between them, but there were good performances in all areas, with Rob Chapman and James Adams providing a solid base and front runners Sam Ellerington and Dan Rogerson causing lots of problems for the Wellington defence.

Exeter School on Wednesday will provide much stiffer opposition, but confidence is high at the moment and the boys are looking forward to the challenge.

Football 1st XI v Exeter School

Another outstanding team performance by the 1st XI saw them earn a well-deserved 1-1 draw with a very strong Exeter School side.

A good start was rewarded when Sam Ellerington sprinted away from the Exeter defence to slide homea well-taken goal to giveShebbear thelead - a lead which was held until deep into the second half. Then a free kick saw the visitors draw level, but some heroic defensive play saw the boys hold on until the final whistle.

All played their part in securing a commendable result against a side which had scored 10 against us last season.

NETBALL

1st VII Vs Kingsley. Shebbear 40, Kingsley 11.

Our First VII netball team has got off to a cracking start this season. Grace Beal an U15 player has secured her position as GS moving and shooting with confidence, aided by Louise Way as GA they racked up a score of a goal a minute.  Considering the team had not played together this year the attack and defense worked hard, their movement and passing up the court was done with control and accuracy, well done. 

U 15 Vs Kingsley Shebbear 20, Kingsley 10.

With half the regular team missing from Saturdays match the girls started a little shaky. Peggy Kirkwood playing up from the U14s at Goal Attack took a while to settle in but by the last quarter both she and Charlotte Wade were shooting with far more confidence.  Bethany Miles played a super game as C leaping all around the court, making some fantastic interceptions and Chelsea Heveran as GK put the Kingsley GS under pressure, stopping her from making those easy shots.   

 

U13 Netball Vs Torrington

The girls played a very close game against a strong Torrington side that beat us last year by 15 goals.  We started slowly allowing Torrington to score 2 goals very quickly, however after we stopped panicking the score was 3-4 in  Torringtons favour after the first quarter. Some excellent shooting from Katie Trask and strong defending by Kerri-Ann Turton saw the score see-saw right up until the last quarter, where some silly throws by the Shebbear girls and lack of concentration saw Torrington win the game 18-12.

U13 NETBALL V HOLSWORTHY – THURSDAY 21ST JANUARY

Just minutes before departing for Holsworthy Chloe Law slipped and hurt her leg and was therefore unable to play, however Phoebe ...... thankfully stepped in. An altered starting line up disrupted things initially but the team always stayed within 2 goals of the opposition. The game was scrappy throughout. Shebbear struggled to find space and although they defended extremely well they often passed the ball to a player wearing the wrong coloured bib! Frankie ........ was superb throughout winning the ball on many occasions and Kerri-Ann Turton controlled the play when she had possession. Katie Trask ........ made many positive drives in the attacking end however this was not enough. Holsworthy kept their narrow lead at the final whistle and won 8-7. The Shebbear team certainly have the ability and potential to overturn this result next time they face them.

U12 NETBALL V KINGSLEY – SATURDAY 30TH JANUARY

The first form team found the first quarter against Kingsley difficult. Kingsley had most of the possession and although they struggled to score, Shebbear’s defence were unable to clear the ball from their defending end. However in the final moments of the first quarter things started to click and they went into the break with a 3-2 lead. After this Shebbear never looked back! Bronwyn Ager and Harriet ... found their shooting skills and their movement together was outstanding. This was backed up by great control and good feeding of the circle by Meghan ..... Olivia ..... and Kay ....... were solid in centre court, working well to win the ball and distribute it effectively. Abbie ...... and Jenny ....... defended well throughout. Storm Cockcroft took on a new position and faced a very keen opponent who had yet to control her eagerness and they found themselves in a tough battle. Storm did very well to win the ball on many occasions and link well with her teammates. The great teamwork shown by the team enabled them to dominate the rest of the game. They did not let Kingsley score another goal and they went on to take a 24-2 victory. An excellent result – well done!

U14 v Kingsley 23/1/2010

The first school netball match of the season saw us play away at Kingsley. We started well scoring two quick goals.  From then on Shebbear continued to dominate. We attacked well, improving our timing of passing and movement down the court. The two shooters India Martin and Ezmay Jopling played superbly, scoring well and working hard to get free. When Kinglsey had possession of the ball and tried to counter attack, the Shebbear girls marked tightly and made very quick and effective interceptions. Isabella Seaton played centre throughout, showing good attacking skills but working hard to defend too and deserving credit for her efforts as this is a relatively new position for her. The whole team played determinedly and with great energy, thoroughly, deserving their final winning score of  27-7

Players : Katie Kinglsand, Anna Cherrington, Hannah Clarke, Isabella Seaton, Ellen Chamberlain, India Martin, Ezmay Jopling

U14 v Holsworthy 26/1/2010

This match was played at home during a very cold activities session. Megan Furse returned from injury and we felt we had a strong side considering our recent win against Kingsley. The first quarter reminded us that you should never underestimate the opposition, with Holsworthy seeming to have improved since last year. We scored the first goal, but throughout the first quarter the game was very evenly matched with both teams scoring on their centre pass, making it 7-6 to us at the end of this quarter.

In the second quarter Shebbear found their form more, they made some key interceptions and scored consistently pulling ahead to 13-8 at half time.

The second half saw us push harder and both India Martin and Ezmay Jopling scored some excellent goals.  We finished with a convincing win of 24-11.

Well done to all the players involved: Katie Kingsland, Anna Cherrington, Hannah Clarke, Megan Furse, Isabella Seaton, India Martin, Ezmay Jopling

2nd Netball Team V Kelly College

Having lost two players to the first team the 2nds took the first quarter to get used to the new combination. Kelly College proved to be a well-coached and dynamic team who were not going to give any favours away in this match. The pace of the game was fierce with Shebbear having to defend against persistent strong attacks. Despite the onslaught the Shebbear team never gave in and worked liked trojans until the last whistle. Shebbear players should be proud of their contribution and sporting attitude during this match. Our captain Abigail Taylor was voted player of the match by the opposition.

The final score was 47-2 to Kelly College

U16 Netball V St Joseph’s

Shebbear lost 18-6

On the morning of this match five of the team were unavailable through illness. Our thanks go to the year 11’s who rallied quickly, agreed to play at short notice and then competed with such an amazing team spirit in the pouring rain in Launceston. The Shebbear team spent the first quarter settling down to work effectively together, then in the second quarter began to pull back the score.  At half time the score was 14-6 to St Joseph’s. In the third quarter we had frequent possession but both teams were struggling to play with control in appalling weather conditions. The final score was 18-6 to St Joseph’s.

1st VII Netball Vs Plymouth College

The 1st VII finally played Plymouth College on Saturday after they arrived an hour late! Shebbear got off to a cracking start was some superb shooting from Grace Beal and Louise Way who just couldn’t miss, and the score after the first quarter was 11/8 in our favour.  Going into the second quarter however Plymouth raised their game and after a few silly mistakes by the Shebbear girls they were up 18/14 at half time. The third quarter was very close as Shebbear fought back an almost leveled the score. However by the last quarter we seemed to run out of ‘puff’ and couldn’t match the pace of the Plymouth girls, finally loosing the match 24/42.

1st VII Netball Vs Bude

On a very cold afternoon we travelled to Bude and for the first time ever the girls played in tracksuit bottoms. Shebbear got off to a good start keeping position of the ball 70% of the time however we had a slight problem! Due to the posts being bent out shooter just could not get the ball in the hole and the score was 3 all after the first quarter. We again struggled in the second quarter and went 9/10 down at half time. A change of position for the shooters seemed to work in the third quarter and some excellent interceptions by Miffy Cheng saw Shebbear go ahead 17/14. In the last quarter the shooters got their confidence back  and the team played the standard of game they are really capable of and went on to win the match 26/18. Well done girls we got there in the end but you didn’t half make it difficult for yourselves!!!

U14 Netball  v Kelly College Sat 6/3/10

On a sunny afternoon we played away at Kelly College. The first few minutes saw both teams play very evenly with goals being by the team who took centre pass. After 3 goals each, Kelly made a break with some very fast attacking from the WA, C and GA. They defended strongly and pulled away 7-4 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter after a bit of position changes Shebbear came back fighting. Anna Cherrington made some impressive interceptions and the whole Shebbear defence put pressure on the Kelly attack, making the score 11-9 to Shebbear at half time. In the second half Shebbear seemed to lose their impetus and Kelly’s attack worked their way round our defence. The Kelly defence marked our two shooters very tightly and despite India Martin’s feistiness we only scored 2 goals in that quarter and Kelly took a 5 goal lead. In the final quarter after another swap Shebbear played a better and more fruitful game with some great shooting from India Martin. Ellen Chamberlain managed to keep up with her fast opponent helping to break down the Kelly attack. Unfortunately we were not able to pull back to enough and the final score was 23-18 to Kelly. All the Shebbear players played with great determination and energy. Anna Cherrington was named player of the match.

Team: Ezmay Jopling, India Martin, Hannah Clarke, Megan Furse, Ellen Chamberlain, Esme McKee, Anna Cherrington, Katie Kingsland.
