so suggest that the girl who was MARy in the nativity

[SCargot]

then went on to be centre in a netball team?

just a leetle theory i am h'explorin

We had the naughtiest boy in the school as Mary, he was a little thug who used to beat all the other children up age 5. The theory was he just had to sit at the side of the stage cradling a doll, in front of a handy curtain so that a teacher could reach out and grab him by the scruff of the neck if things went wrong. As it turned out, he was so mortified to be Mary that he did sit there for the whole of the play, with the biggest scowl on his grubby face, holding 'jesus' by his ankles and bashing the dolls head moodily on the floor throughout. All the other kids were so terrified of him that the rest of the play was performed right on the other side of the stage. We have some fantastic pictures... I wish I knew what became of him! Sorry, not netball related, but just to show that all Mary's are blonde Centres.
(although it is the two pretty blondes out of eight girls in dds class who have been picked to alternate as Mary this year...)

Ps. As for me, always nonentity angel number 5, always on the bench in netball...

Fucking Nora

A 2009 thread

Why?

Really why?

it's nostalgic innit

Agree Pag. Just read 3 pages before I realised the dates.

Oh. It's an oldie.

Oh well, I was Mary and I was goal shooter.

I wondered how a new thread had got 250 responses!

Anyhoo - I was always narrator and smoked behind the netball courts but never actually played if memory serves.

I was Mary twice, and spent my entire school career BULLIED by the netball players. And I was always a spare if involved at all. I would always look the other way when the ball came though as I had no desire to be loyal to those bitches and couldn't care less whether they won or lost the match.

Mary......and goal shooter.

I was Mary for most years of my primary school
Played GA until I hit secondary and cba

I was Mary when I was 5.
I can't throw or catch, and was always made to be Goal Keeper in netball solely because I'm tall .

I have also played Joseph, the Angel Gabriel, and the narrator.

Was a can can dancer ( that was a weird nativity). GS in netball, could aim couldn't run. Still can't run actually.

I was a sheep
ran round edge of hockey pitch with other non sporty types and none of my boyfriends believed in valentines [Mum sent me some smashers though to take in to school :) ]

Gabriel / narrator and umpire! Beat that!

Was narrator and mostly GK or GD. (also tall)

My mixed-race friend was a very right-on choice for Mary. She was a very short GA.

Me...angel, Elf, SHeep, Goal Defence.

shrugs.

OMG she did , she did!!!
I thought I was the only one who saw the pattern!!!

I was always Mary, or Gabriel, (very small, pretty and had a LOUD voice!) I was he headmasters favourite!
I was always WA in netball due to also being shite at sport!

"and went on to be WING defence as it was the position for lazies"

This explains why I was always put at WD by the PE teacher who wrote of me in my report "Rusty continues to enjoy a little gentle exercise..."

I was centre, but never even got a part in the nativity, not once, was very ugly child,

DD2 was the star of Bethlehem, because the other stars were too shy to lead the kings and camels round the audience.
She's only played high five netball so I don't know what position she'll settle to.
Probably referee, because she likes organising people and wants to be a teacher.

I was Mary.
Another year I was one of the 3 kings. I was cast as Angel Gabriel but one of the other girls kicked up a stink about being a king, so her mum spoke to the teacher and I was forced to swap.

I became Goalkeeper for the netball team.

I was 12th angel from the left in the back row and was Goal Defence and Captain.
