West Hatch High School’s Year 7 netball team are into the quarter-finals of the Essex Cup (‘A’ competition) after extending their  unbeaten run to six matches with an 18-1  victory over Hedingham.

PE teacher Coralie Reid said: “The girls dominated the game with many players playing out of position to make it more of a challenge for them.”

The player of the match, voted by the opposing team, was Gabriella Dada, who received the accolade for the eighth time in all competitions this year.

The girls now face a trip to Westcliff High School for Girls in the last eight of the competition on Thursday, March 3.
