The BSP Senior Netball Team had a fantastic opportunity to participate in the annual Coupe de France de Netball held at the BSP last Saturday.
Despite mixed results in the league stage, the BSP team dominated their semi-final match against Toulouse, securing a place in the final. Outstanding shooting by our captain, Manel Wardi-Hamidi and strong defensive play from Meenahel Bompoint were notable performances.
This was a tough match for the team and Nice Sunset’s strong attacking play proved too strong for BSP, however, finishing with a runners-up medal was a fantastic achievement.
Carl (GD) and Caitlin (C) were voted Most Valued Players for BSP by the umpires of each match. Eliza who plays for local team LMML was also awarded MVP for her brilliant performance.
A number of BSP students were subsequently selected to trial for the Netball France Junior National Team and successful players will be announced shortly.
This was an excellent competition and the team have now started pre-season training in preparation for their first school match of the season.
