Netball & Lacrosse
Super Saturday v North London Collegiate
It was a fantastic morning of lacrosse and netball against North London Collegiate School (NLCS), showcasing the enthusiasm, resilience and development of LEH players across all age groups. With over an incredible 290 students proudly representing the red and white of LEH, the fixture block demonstrated the strength and depth of both our netball and lacrosse programme.
The lacrosse teams enjoyed a mixture of impressive victories, hard-fought draws and closely contested losses, with every match providing valuable learning experiences and opportunities for growth. Pleasingly, our players consistently demonstrated excellent teamwork, communication and determination, supporting one another in challenging moments and celebrating success together.
A particular highlight of the day was the first-ever fixture experience for our U12 students. They embraced the occasion with great enthusiasm and confidence, applying skills learned in training and gaining invaluable match experience. Their energy, commitment and willingness to learn were a credit to themselves and the school.
Throughout the block, there was clear evidence of the progress being made across all year groups. In attack, players showed increasing confidence in ball movement, decision-making and creating scoring opportunities. Defensively, teams worked hard to apply pressure, support teammates and communicate effectively, resulting in numerous turnovers and strong defensive stands. Equally impressive was the work ethic displayed by all players, with teams continuing to compete and improve throughout every game. Players demonstrated excellent collaboration, encouraged one another from the sidelines and represented the school with pride, sportsmanship and determination.
Our netball teams enjoyed an excellent morning of competition, winning 14 of the 18 matches played against NLCS. Across all age groups, players demonstrated impressive skill, determination and teamwork, producing some outstanding performances throughout the morning.
In attack and defence, teams moved the ball with confidence displaying excellent ball handling, strong decision-making and effective communication across the court. Assertive attacking play created numerous scoring opportunities, while our shooters were particularly impressive, converting chances consistently and maintaining composure under pressure.
Most pleasingly, players represented LEH with enthusiasm, sportsmanship and confidence.
Thank you to NLCS for a competitive and enjoyable morning of lacrosse and netball, and congratulations to all LEH players on their efforts and achievements. We look forward to building on these performances as the season continues.
Netball
Middlesex County Qualifiers: U15 and U14’s
Our U15A and U14 A team took part in the Middlesex County qualifying tournament on Thursday afternoon. The U15’s had a large group to compete in and played six matches overall. The team performed very well throughout the tournament, securing 6 wins and finishing top of their group. This takes them comfortably through to the County Finals to be held in March. Well, done to the whole team on some excellent performances in both attack and defence.
The U14’s equally performed well with two wins and a draw as the pool was smaller due to schools pulling out. The team demonstrated excellent composure, determination and teamwork across all three matches securing their place in the County finals in March. Congratulations to both teams.
U16 Sisters n Sport
On Thursday, our U16s played their second-round SIS fixture against Grey Court School and delivered an impressive performance, showcasing some excellent netball throughout. It was particularly valuable to test a variety of combinations ahead of our county qualifiers next Wednesday. The team secured a convincing 57-6 victory, reflecting their hard work and teamwork on court. Congratulations to Rosy and Cecilia, who were deservedly awarded Most Valued Players honours.
Football
On Tuesday afternoon, our U13 football team played in the Borough League against Hampton High School. The team started very well, with many of the players demonstrating excellent skills, attacking the ball strongly. The team secured a two goal lead in the first half and carried this on to win 2-0. This was a great game and well done to all who played. We look forward to our next league match next week.
