This year’s School Games compromised of 17 year 7 school netball teams, with two teams representing each School Partnership across Staffordshire and competing to become Staffordshire School Games Champions.
The netball teams were placed into two sections, each playing one match against the teams in their group with the top two progressing to the semi-finals. Young leaders from local schools, colleges and clubs put their skills to the test with some officiating and scoring. The young leaders were also mentored under the supervision of volunteers from the Staffordshire County Netball Association and Netball West Midlands.
The fixtures progressed, showcasing the counties best netball talent. The atmosphere was great with lots of smiling participants and support from spectators.
Once the first round of fixtures had finished it was then time to add up the scores...

With the teams gathered together, the final positions were announced. Next it was onto the very close and very exciting semi-final matches.
The final was an exciting match; both teams were very tired after the long day of netball and both striving to win the competition. St. Joseph’s College took an early lead and continued to up their pace until half time. John Taylor High fought back and scored some all-important goals in the second half. But, the final whistle went to crown St. Joseph’s College as champions winning the final 5 – 2.
In the 3rd and 4th place play-off match, it was neck and neck for most the match with King Edwards VI securing the battle for 3rd place in the second half defeating St. Joseph’s College 5 - 4.
WINNERS: ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE from Stoke on Trent (South) Partnership RUNNERS UP: JOHN TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL from East Staffordshire Partnership
