St Margaret’s qualify for nationals<br />

after South Island schools final<br />

FOCUS: St Margaret’s centre Ellese Haigh keeps her eyes on<br />

the target in their 51-27 win over Otago Girls’ High.<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

AN EXTRA-TIME thriller saw<br />

St Margaret’s College go down<br />

to Columba College in the<br />

South Island secondary schools<br />

netball final.<br />

St Margaret’s had a dominant<br />

tournament in Invercargill<br />

and have now qualified for<br />

the New Zealand secondary<br />

schools tournament in<br />

Auckland, which starts on<br />

October 3, after the 30-28<br />

loss. Christchurch Girls’ High<br />

(third), St Andrew’s College<br />

(fourth) and Villa Maria<br />

College (fifth) also clinched<br />

spots at next month’s New<br />

Zealand tournament by<br />

finishing in the top five.<br />

But for St Margaret’s, who<br />

were last year’s national<br />

finalists, the final loss was<br />

a disappointing end to the<br />

tournament.<br />

They recorded an impressive<br />

3<strong>07</strong> goals across their first six<br />

games while conceding just 133.<br />

St Margaret’s met rivals St<br />

Andrew’s in their third playoff<br />

match in two weeks in the<br />

semi-final, which the red-andwhites<br />

won 43-31.<br />

St Margaret’s looked like<br />

winning the final last Thursday<br />

after taking a 13-5 lead in the<br />

first quarter. Goal attack Ivy<br />

Brown was a standout, injecting<br />

energy on attack and defence in<br />

the first half.<br />

Despite a number of<br />

opportunities for Columba, St<br />

Margaret’s managed to hold on<br />

to a 19-14 lead at halftime.<br />

Clean intercepts gained<br />

them plenty of turnovers on<br />

defence, but unforced errors<br />

saw St Margaret’s take 2min to<br />

get their first goal of the third<br />

period.<br />

St Margaret’s had possibly<br />

their lowest quarter score of the<br />

season with just six goals.<br />

But for much of the final<br />

quarter, St Margaret’s held onto<br />

their slim lead.<br />

Then Columba soared to a<br />

28-27 lead with 36sec to go on<br />

the clock. St Margaret’s were<br />

able to keep their cool, with<br />

Brown netting a goal to even<br />

the match. But it wasn’t to be<br />

for St Margaret’s in extra-time.<br />

They were unable to add to<br />

their score, while Columba<br />

went in front by two for the first<br />

time in the game.<br />

Meanwhile, CGHS faced St<br />

Andrew’s to decide third place.<br />

CGHS were reeling from a<br />

44-17 loss to Columba, and<br />

came out firing to finish third<br />

with a 35-30 win. The last<br />

spot at nationals went to Villa<br />

Maria, who beat Southland<br />

Girls’ 33-32 in a thrilling<br />

fifth place playoff. The four<br />

Christchurch sides now turn<br />

their focus to the national<br />

tournament at Trust Arena,<br />

Auckland, which starts on<br />

October 3.<br />
