On a freezing cold Wednesday afternoon  with rain, sleet and finally a heavy snow storm,  our two U18 teams played in the District Tournament. 

The B team put in fine performances and challenged some tough opposition in their round, their results were: Birchwood lost 3-7, Freman College drew 1-1, St Marys A lost 0-6, Herts & Essex drew 3-3 and Leventhorpe A lost 3-8. Well done to all the team especially in such terrible weather conditions.

Our A team played on what can only be described as a muddy car park (yes complete with pot holes and cars driving through the matches!). Nevertheless our girls, District Champions last year, played some fine netball and the A team convincingly won their round to go through to the semi final beating The Bishop's Stortford High School 14-0, Newport 9-3, Leventhorpe B 6-2, Hockerill 10-0, Saffron Walden 15-0 and in their final match of the round they drew 1-1 with St Marys after 4 minutes when the heavens opened and the court and the girls were white and so the match was abandoned. It was a disappointment as the girls were playing really well despite conditions. The semi final is to be re-arranged before the end of term. Watch this space!

The B team consisted of Chloe Palmer (Captain), Beth Wheaton, Georgia Swayne, Elizabeth Bruce, Charlotte Croker, Laura Beckwith and Emily Woodhouse.

The A team consisted of Izelle Wagner (Captain), Elspeth Limer, Anna Taylor, Issy Rolfe, Helen Trantum, Tonica Hunter and Aimee Swayne.                      JW
