Netball success

Doon Academy’s netball team travelled to Kilmarnock to play St. Joseph’s Academy. The game got off to a tight start with both sides scoring alternatively. Annabel McTaggart controlled the game well from her centre position with Paige McMahon and Amy Fulton helping in the wings. With a very fast Jade Scott passing the ball to Sophie Dobbie, Doon was able to score 5 points in the first half. Unfortunately St. Joseph’s scored 6 putting Doon in a trailing position going into the second half. After a quick team talk and some substitutions from St. Joseph’s, Doon got off to a quick start equalising in the first minute. With Claire Boyd and Lauren Shaw determined not to let St. Joe’s score any more, the game was certainly in Doon’s control. With Jade’s quick thinking and movement, she was able to give the ball to Sophie who scored a phenomenal 9 goals in total during the game. The final score ended with Doon winning 10-6. Well done to everyone including Paige McMahon and Claire Boyd who received joint ‘Players of the Match’
