A WEEK is a long time in Netball. A week ago, St Mark’s Under-19 side lost in the final of the Essex Plate by just a single point to Sweyne High.

There was no hiding the girl’s disappointment. However, many of the players are just sixteen.

So they returned a week later to play in the Essex Schools Under-16 Plate Final

The whole team were on fire and beaten Debden Park High, 61-8.

Debden tried their best but they were playing a team that had beat every team in Harlow on the way to the final.

Well done to all the players and staff.
