Netball round up March 2015

This years season nearly draws to a close and we remain as busy as ever trying to complete all of our fixtures!
Year 4 Netballers have played 2 matches and are continually growing in their ability to catch, throw and shoot. Alfie remains the highest goalscorer but is chased down by Leonie Mai. The first match that we played was against Decoy at Rydon, we played some fantastic netball, worked hard as a team and won with an amazing 7-0 scoreline! Our second match took us to Bovey Tracey , where we were met by an experienced year 4 side. We fought hard but unfortunately lost this fixture 5-3. Year 4 netball club starts on March 23rd and I look forward to improving on all the skills for the future.
Year 6 netballers have played 2 fixtures. The first match was an evenly fought fixture against Decoy. It was a goal for goal 20 minutes game with our girls managing to secure a 5-4 victory. Our second fixture saw us head off to Kingskerswell. Abby managed to score an amazing 4 goals in the first 5 minutes to give us a great lead. We continued to play some fantastic netball and the end result of 8-1 was a credit to the all round excellent play.
Congratulations to all the children involved in the netball matches and club at Rydon, every single one of you has improved and shown great skills for the future!

30.1.2015 A hard fought win for both A and B Teams!

On Friday 30th January, Rydon played Bovey Tracey in the Teignbridge Primary Football League. First on were the A Team, who won 4 - 1. Some stunning passing and excellent team work saw four great goals scored in what was a really good game to watch. Next on were the B Team, who were not to be out done. Excellent one touch passing and clinical finishing saw a 6 -0 win for Rydon. However, a special mention goes to the Bovey Tracey keeper, who pulled off some magnificent saves throughout the game.  A special thank you to all parents and supporters who came to watch on a very chilly Friday. Well done boys.
