The girls played exceptionally well and were unbeaten in all nine games against other schools during the tournament which took place on 18th September. The scores in each game were:

4-1 against St Mary’s School, Ascot
10-0 against Brigidine School, Windsor
6-3 against St George’s School, Ascot

The school has a reputation for excellent netball with Years 7–9 and Year 11 teams all having won the Ascot Schools Netball Tournaments last year. Sophia Candappa, 16, is also a member of both the England Under 17 and Under 21 Netball squads.

Mrs Jen Bishopp, head of PE at the Marist Senior School said “the girls played exceptionally well and showed outstanding team work. The scores they achieved were all the more impressive given that each match was only 5 minutes long! I’m very proud of them to have won the tournament again. We look forward to defending the title next year.”
