6 Thursday July 13 2023 Unbeatable St Andrew’s side dominate junior championships • By Jaime Cunningham THE NEXT generation of St Andrew’s College netballers showcased their talent at the South Island secondary schools junior championships. The school claimed the year 9 title and finished second in the year 10 grade. The year 9 side went one better than last year, winning the grade for the first time since 2018 at Hagley Park last week. St Andrew’s comfortably beat St Hilda’s Collegiate School 44- 20 to win the tournament. Coach Jo Andrew said they are a new team but have developed strong connections across the court quickly. “Their ability to score a high volume of goals were remarkable for such young players,” she said. The team’s average of more than 40 goals a game and accuracy of over 80 per cent was largely due to Tactix shooter Vika Koloto helping the team throughout the season. “She is a great role model for the shooters and they have benefitted from her advice and support,” said Andrew, who is a former Canterbury Flames player. St Andrew’s went through the three-day tournament unbeaten and a dream run saw them win all their playoff games by more than 10 goals. Andrew said the team executed their game plans and showed steady improvements. “They are a group of girls who love playing netball together.” The school’s year 10 side suffered a heartbreaking 30-21 loss to Dunedin’s Columba College in their final. A majority of the team were part of the St Andrew’s side who lost to Columba in the year 9 final last year. St Margaret’s College and Christchurch Girls’ High battled it out in the year 10 third place playoff, with St Margaret’s coming out on top 25-15. Villa Maria took fifth place over Marlborough Girls’ College. In the year 9 grade, Cashmere High managed to hold off a strong Ashburton College side to WINNERS: St Andrew’s College took out the year 9 title at the South Island secondary schools’ junior championships.
