My first Netball match – by Erin

On Tuesday, I played in my first netball match. We went to a school very far away called River View, there were 4 schools playing in the match: Penryn, Uplands, St. Peter’s and River View. Netball is a popular sport in South Africa and it is only played by girls. It’s kind of like basketball but there is no backboard and no dribbling. Everyone plays a different position such as Wing Defense, Wing Attack, Centre, Goal Keeper, Goal Shooter and Goal Defense. Each position is only allowed in certain areas of the court. Our school has a hard court like a tennis court but the school we went to had a grass court. Here is a picture of me and some of my friends: Tubby, Morgynne, Bailey and me. Our pinnies say what position we play and the numbers at the bottom say what parts of the court we can go into.

Our team lost badly but we were lucky enough to get one goal against Uplands. I guess we’ll have to practice a little more.

It looks like God has blessed you with many friends & fun things to do. God is answering our prayers. I just wanted to let you know that your cousins in Canada have not forgotten about you. Melissa prays for you every night. You have become a very important part of her prayer time.
