Match Report: This was an excellent experience for this young group of players and they definitely became better as a result of playing at this level. Although disappointed to lose 2 games that were certainly close enough to win and that we had led, Wakefield deserved to win the group and progress to the final itself. We will look back at the game against them though and be disappointed as when 3-1 up and 5-4 up, we were in the box seat!

The girls showed excellent tactical awareness throughout the weekend and nothing more could be asked of them. I hope they enjoyed the experience and that they aim to return to this competition next year, either as an U16 or part of the senior squad that will compete for this year's National title in 2 weeks time.
