LACROSSE SUCCESS FOR WESTONBIRT UNDER 12'S
Westonbirt's Year 7s were winners at the recent Welsh Rally, with the Under 12 team beating stiff opposition to win the tournament. In the deciding match they had to score at least 8 goals to win the shield, which they did in style, beating Monmouth by 10 goals to 2. It was a brilliant team effort, with Teddie Mardon as top goal scorer, and man (or girl!) of the match awards going to Katherine Edwards, Scarlett Jones, Eleanor Murphy and Ellen Newman.
The Westonbirt girls paid tribute to their opposing teams, but in their own words, "we played our hearts out" and they returned home as champions.
The Welsh Rally is an important event in the national Lacrosse calendar, and one of the most significant regional competitions for schools in the area.
