FOGMS Mums’ Netball Tournament

The annual FOGMS Mums’ Netball Tournament was a highly contested competition this year with nine teams participating from primary and secondary sectors in the local area. This event that has grown over the last seven years and is always a fantastic social and, of course fundraising, opportunity for the families of Great Marlow School. The first part of the tournament was organised as a round robin and allowed the players to improve their netball skills and develop as teams.

Matches were extremely close and a number of finishing positions had to be decided on goals scored. This was the case particularly at the bottom of our league table. At the end of the round robin, Cookham Dean Primary School and Stokenchurch Primary School both finished on seven points, but by just 1 goal, Cookham Dean were the proud winners of the Wooden Spoon trophy!
As the teams were split into the shield and plate competition, the players were forced to demonstrate their fitness in the knock out rounds. This eventually resulted in the plate final: Holy Trinity Primary School vs St Peter’s Primary School, and the shield final: Sir William Borlase Grammar School vs Burford Primary School. In the most dramatic final ever, just one goal separated each match at the final whistle! The ultimate winners of the Plate were St Peter’s and the Shield, for the fourth year running, Sir William Borlase!
The event raised just short of £700 for FOGMS and the committee has kindly agreed to donate £300 to the PE department to go towards purchasing a netball kit for the students. Particular thanks go to Julie Lyons and Jenny Towe for organising the event, Jill Hickey for coordinating the refreshments and the student helpers who umpired and assisted with scoring. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
