The County netball festival now in its 15th year compromised of 10 primary school High 5 netball teams representing each School Partnership across Staffordshire competing to become Staffordshire County High Five & 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 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.
The fixtures progressed, showcasing the counties best netball talent. The atmosphere was great with lots of smiling participants and support from spectators on the viewing balcony.
Once the first round of fixtures had finished it was then time to add up the scores...

Oldfields Hall were leading at half time 3-1, but Newcastle-under-Lyme school strived forward and continued to up their pace to full time scoring 5 goals! Oldfields Hall struggled under the pressure to score the goals. The final whistle went to crown Newcastle-under-Lyme School as champions winning the final 6 – 3.
