The netball season is off to an outstanding start for our Year 7 and Year 8 teams at St John’s Catholic School & Sixth Form College, Bishop Auckland. Our students recently travelled to Teesdale for their first fixtures of the year, competing against both Staindrop and Teesdale School — and they delivered some brilliant results.

Impressive Teamwork and Skill on Display

Both teams showed excellent practical skills, determination and teamwork throughout the matches. Their commitment to training and their enthusiasm for the sport were clear to see on the court.

Year 7 Results

  • Won 6–0 vs Staindrop
  • Drew 1–1 vs Teesdale

A fantastic performance from the Year 7 team, who demonstrated confidence, great passing accuracy and strong defensive play.

Year 8 Results

  • Won 9–0 vs Staindrop
  • Won 2–0 vs Teesdale

Our Year 8 team delivered two outstanding wins, showing superb teamwork, communication and consistency in both attack and defence.

A Strong Start for St John’s Netball

We are incredibly proud of all the girls who took part. Their attitude, skill and sportsmanship were a credit to the school, and these early results show real promise for the rest of the season.

At St John’s, we continue to offer a wide range of sporting opportunities, and netball remains one of the most popular extra‑curricular activities for our students. With such a strong start, we look forward to watching our teams grow, develop and achieve even more as the season progresses.

Well done, girls — a brilliant start and an exciting season ahead!
