Staff vs students: basketball and netball

Yesterday afternoon saw the titanic clashes that are the annual d'Overbroeck's staff vs students netball and basketball fixtures.


Both matches were closely contested. In the netball, staff battled back from a three point deficit at half time, finally securing a narrow victory – the final score, 19-15 to staff. Especially considering the height difference between teams, the students played superbly.

In basketball, it was students that triumphed: despite the guest appearance of a basketball professional on the staff's team, the students dominated the game from start to finish. Nevertheless, the staff battled valiantly to ensure a more than respectable scoreline: 35-26 to students.


As ever, this was an extremely enjoyable occasion – and we look forward to more staff vs student fixtures in the coming weeks.
