Independent Jewish Day School retained their status as Year 5 and 6 Mixed Netball champions after they won the latest Maccabi GB inter-school sports tournament.

One of eight schools taking part in the competition, which was sponsored by All Aboard Charity Shops, 11 teams competed for the winners’ medal.

An action-packed afternoon saw 115 players take to the court, watched on by a further 50 spectators, and saw IJDS beat Alma 2-1 in the final to claim back-to-back success.

Nathan Bloohn, School and Sports Coordinator at Maccabi GB, said: “It was fantastic to see such a high-quality tournament with many players and schools taking part. The quality is increasing with every event that we hold, and the future is looking strong for Jewish sport.”
