U13s continue their winning ways!
[posted 30/10/08]
Once again the U13s had a decisive win in a Shires League match. This was
with a team with five players, including one U11, making their debut in the
Shires League. All played very well and gave us a decisive 17 - 3 win.
Sadly Lincs was one girl short so one of our players did not play the full
quota of matches.
Thanks to all the Parents who supported us by driving all the way to Lincoln
and successfully negotiated the road closures to get there on time.

Emily strikes Gold in Bristol
[posted 05/09/08]
Emily Westwood gained double Gold for England on Day 3 of the UK School Games at the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol.
Some 1500 youngsters from the four Home Nations and eight different sports, had gathered on Thursday 28th August at the Bath Rugby ground for the opening ceremony, to be followed by three days of competition.
Emily beat last year’s finalist, Wales’ Sarah Thomas, in the Singles Semis, then after losing a wayward first set in the Final, recovered to beat Scottish No.1 Kirsty Gilmour, 21-17 in the third.
With Surrey’s Sam Dobson, she also took the Mixed Doubles. In fact England completed a strong all round performance by taking four of the five Golds; Sam, again, the Boys’ Singles and, with Steven Cappleman, the Boys’ Doubles. Scotland’s Kirstys, McGlynn and Gilmour, took the Girls’ Doubles. Emily and Lauren Bromley, reached the Semis, gaining a Bronze.
Ryan McCarthy was also in the England Squad, which also took the Team Cup for most aggregate points over the three days.
