It was a great opportunity to demonstrate our versatility and teamwork to beat some very good opponents from the rest of the region. We are thrilled by our achievement and we are looking forward to the rest of the season.”

Barton Peveril Teacher of Sport, Alix Christopher, said:
“I’m so proud of all the players. It was a very long, cold day but the girls were fantastic and played their absolute hearts out. With most of the competition being private schools, I’m so proud of all the students.”
