The third day of the Menlopark netball festival looked promising and most of the games were played, but round 55 the games were stopped because of bad weather, and the rest of the day’s games were unfortunately canceled.
It seems the rain just won’t stay away from this tournament.
Watch all these matches again on SuperSport Schools (www.supersportschools.com).
Despite the rain – the hosts, Menlopark u18’s won all their games just like Milnerton who will end up with the most wins, if these two schools go up against each other.
Noordheuwel lost their first game against Menlopark 27-14 but got their revenge when they won against Secunda 22-21.
Oranje of Bloemfontein got back to winning ways with victories over Secunda (24-11) and Paarl Gimnasium (17-16).
Paarl Girls’ High won against their opponents Florida with a massive score gap of 29-6. In the same lane of big scores is the victory Drostdy scored against Merensky 32-13, along with Hoërskool Middelburg that won 38-9 against Kalahari.
Paarl Girls’ High beat Ben Vorster 30-7.
Monument walked away from the court extremely happy with their score against Frikkie Meyer 34-3.
In other age group news, u14 Paarl Gimnasium won against the u15 Lichtenburg 22-5, just like u16 Lichtenburg won u17 Linden 20-10. Also, u14 Duineveld won against u15 Linden 9-4.
Just like the first two days, day three delivered on good netball and great support on the side lines. With everybody looking forward to what the final day will bring, hopefully a full day without weather interruptions.
Will the host walk away from the tournament as the overall winners or will someone else come in for the steal at the last minute?

It was a great second day at the annual Menlopark Netball Festival in Pretoria, with no rain interruptions. Whistles blowing from all sides and the crowds cheering on the players, spirits were high.
The first day of the annual Menlopark Netball tournament in Pretoria was delayed due to some consistent rain in the Jacaranda City.
