On Thursday September 24, a team of Pimpala students accompanied by Mr. Henry Carey and Mrs. Trish Mart travelled to Priceline Stadium to compete in the SAPSASA Knock Out Netball Finals.  To reach this stage in the tournament, they won two previous rounds of netball against teams from across the state.

On the day, they played four matches against other schools who had successfully reached that stage of the tournament.  The first match they play against McAuley Community School  where they drew 19 each.  Their second match was against Angaston Primary School where they won convincingly 22 - 13.  Their third match they played Maitland Primary School and lost by one goal 12 - 13.

In their final match they played for third place in the tournament against McAuley Community School which resulted in a draw again.  This went in to overtime to decide the overall places and the final score was 18 -13 in favour of Pimpala.

Our girls were in an initial tournament involving more than 50 schools and playing against teams with state players.This is the first time in the school's history that a team representing Pimpala Primary School has reached this level of tournament, so achieving third place is outstanding.  

Congratulations to Ayrlia, Shaylee, Jasmine, Chelsea, Madelyn, Madison, Abby, Emma, Lily and Cejay on their sporting spirit, team work and persistence.  A huge thank you to Mr. Henry Carey, Mrs. Trish Mart and to Ms. Rachel Pullman for their support and preparation in the girls' success.
