Reports and College Activities
The final term of Cuppers came to us in a different format, occurring as a tournament
rather than weekly matches. As well as being the first notable outing of some of our
newer players, the Trinity tournament also saw the debut of our new club dresses,
which many of us agree only adds to the experience. While QCNC did miss out
on appearing in the quarterfinals by a mere one point, we triumphed against three
teams including Wadham, who we have previously suffered losses to, despite the
wet conditions.
This year’s shooting had been especially notable thanks to the dedication and
teamwork of Zoe George, Ying Wong, Ellen Laker, and making a change from her
traditional place in defence, Ire Sofela. On the other end of the pitch, we saw great
efforts put forward by Katie Zagurova and Roisin Quinn. Certainly, the heart of the
team comes from the centre court, bridging the gaps between both ends through
great skill and speed displayed by Pandora Mackenzie, Katie Mewawalla, Elin Issac,
and Eve Scollay.
The highlight of the year probably came from the netball tour in which our team
travelled to Cambridge and saw a great victory over Pembroke College, Cambridge
despite some strong wind and rain. Making a difference was undoubtedly the
fun and spirit brought by debuting players Marta Rigby and our Social Secretary
Phoebe Horner.
Overall, this year had been a great year for netball with our team going from strength
to strength, and I am very honoured to begin my final year as captain of such a
wonderful team. The club would like to pay homage to our outgoing members Ying
Wong, Ella Farmer, and former Captain Pandora Mackenzie, the team will certainly
not be the same without them and they will be greatly missed both on the court
and off it.
