Year 11 win two games in a row!
On Tuesday 30th November, Year 11 travelled to Ballymena Academy. During the first half Cullybackey dominated in attacking play, with Kara McCartney working extremely hard against a very tough opposing player to play the ball in to the goal third for Paula Reid and Aimee Rainey to score.
The defence of Rachel Gillespie and Claire Robinson worked well in linking play to prevent the ball entering the goal third. At half time Cullybackey were leading 8 goals to Ballymena Academy 2 goals.
The team made a change for the second half, with Jemma Lennox coming off to allow Kirsty Kelso to switch on. Cullybackey quickly took control of the game and scored 4 more goals and only allowed the Academy to score 3.

On the 24th November we played Dunclug in a very competitive netball match. Rachel took the toss and won first centre for us. After the first half of fifteen minutes we were leading 9-0. The team were playing well but we were getting blown up a lot for foul play! We all had a good game and passed the ball around both sides of the court. The final whistle was blown and we were very pleased with the score as we won 19-5. We shook hands and said "Three cheers!".

Mrs Robinson tossed a coin and Ballee were given the first centre pass. We played for twelve minutes. After a well competed half the score was six all. After a short break the second half began, with both teams making use of their substitute.
Both teams kept up their efforts for the second half until the final whistle blew. We held our own and were overjoyed with the final result. I think we played well today as a team. Alana, our captain, shook hands with Ballee's captain and said the 'three cheers'.
Final Score:
