The U13A team travelled to St Swithun’s to compete in the South West Tournament. In the U13 section, there were 14 schools making each section good competition.

The U13s always go into the tournament at a disadvantage with one third of the year group being in France, meaning that they are missing players, as well as having the drawback of having only played together as a team for just one term.

The team started off well winning the first 3 games in the morning but then their chances of being in the premiership division seemed slim as they lost to Godolphin. Luckily they went through in the afternoon as best runner up and after that it was a different story.

The girls played their hearts out and were dominating the field. They hadn’t lost a game going into their last match against a team in the same position, Queen Anne’s. They managed to beat them 3-1 meaning that they were Champions! This is the first time they had won in 6 years so it’s an excellent achievement! Mentions must go to Natasha Somerville-Cotton, Isabelle Brown, Lara Bracher and Evie Graham, who played outstandingly well.
