Meridian crowned High 5 Netball Champions

Fourteen primary schools recently competed in the South Cambs High 5 Netball Shield Finals held at Comberton Village College. At stake was the title of South Cambs Champions 2014 and a chance to qualify for the county finals, where the top four schools on the night would go forward to represent the South Cambs district and take on the best school teams from across Cambridgeshire.

This was the last of three finals nights with Coton Primary School having previously won the A Team Plate Competition whilst Steeple Morden were victorious in the B Team Competition.

The schools were split into four pools, with each team playing all of their rivals within that group to determine whether they qualified into Division 1, 2 or 3 for the next round of matches. It was the teams from Harston & Newton, Histon & Impington Juniors, Meridian & Swavesey that won their groups and qualified into the top division.

There wasn’t much to separate the top four teams though with them all winning at least one of their matches in the final round. It was the team from Meridian Primary School that managed to claim a second victory though and this earned them enough points to take the title and claim the winners shield ahead of defending champions Histon & Impington Juniors who finished as runners up.
