Camperdown take St Andrew High to school

WITH RAIN putting paid to their first two matches, former senior schoolgirls’ netball champions Camperdown were in a no-nonsense mood at home on Friday, overwhelming St Andrew High School 41 -3 in their first game of the season in Zone A.

Camperdown coach, Wayne Stewart, also watched her junior team romp to an 18-9 victory over St Andrew.

Stewart was happy to finally be able to open her season.

“I am happy that the senior team was able to open their account, as the girls were very anxious to get their season under way. The big margin was not a surprise, as this is a very good team and the girls are very confident of going very deep into the competition,” said a confident Stewart.
