The School Games National Finals took place at Loughborough University between Thursday 30 August and Sunday 2 September, with Rochdale’s Emma Fletcher contesting the Netball competition.
The fourteen-year-old Rishworth School pupil was part of the Manchester Thunders and performed well, finishing fourth overall in the tournament.
Of her performance, sher said: “I feel like when I went on, I really wanted to prove myself. That just made me want to play even better, so I played as well as I could possibly play. I think I did my best.”
Speaking of the School Games, she added: “It’s been so good. We’ve loved every part of it, because we got to bond with other teams and people from other sports as well. It wasn’t just like your normal netball tournament… it was like the Olympics.
“If you think that you’re not going to go far, then you won’t, but if you are true to your goals, then you will.”
Now in its thirteenth year, the event – featuring over 1,000 school-age athletes – will see some of the most talented schoolchildren from across the UK compete in 11 different sports.
