YOUNG netballers celebrated International Women’s Day in style by clinching the silver medal at the U13 Herefordshire Schools netball tournament.

In a punishing schedule, the John Kyrle team played nine matches back-to-back, winning seven and losing only two, one against the eventual winners.

Eden Rose Hartman captained the side from goal attack, leading by example with excellent shooting accuracy and fantastic athleticism.

A school spokesperson said: “In their first ever tournament together the players demonstrated outstanding tenacity and were duly rewarded for their efforts.”

The squad was Eden Rose Hartman, Romerleigh Parker, Elin Winstanley, Alexis Green, Ella Rees, Martha Gilson, Emma Louise Greenman and Jess Ruck.
