"Overall a very positive weekend for our young team and if this same team can play next year I think they have a good chance of doing really well." - Team Captain Tom Rushby

Some workshops for licenced coaches are coming in June

Although again losing on the first day made it look unlikely we would qualify for the national finals, getting two 5-1 wins was overall not a bad result. There were breakthrough wins for Kelsey Hodgson and Victoria Allen who both beat players they had previously been unable to. All of the girls should be proud of themselves for how they performed over the weekend and yet again the team spirit was fantastic
