County Hockey Champions
The Senior hockey team were successful this afternoon at the U18 County Tournament. It was disappointing to only see 3 teams there, but they were the strongest 3 teams, so competition was good. In the first match, Liverpool College faced Merchant Taylors. It was a closely fought match with chances at either end. There were some excellent link up play between Lydia W, Kirsten B and Eva B but we could not convert our chances. We came close with a penalty corner from Orla N, but failed to convert. Jasmine P was excellent in goal, preventing Merchant Taylors from scoring and the game finished 0-0.
U15 7's squad just miss out on glory in Manchester
Thursday's snowfall would not deter our resilient U15 rugby squad from travelling over to the Audenshaw 7's tournament and going up against some of the best schools in the north.
Wins came against Bury Grammar and West Hill with narrow losses against the hosts Audenshaw and then Stockport GS, the favourites to win the event.
Every member of the squad put their 'body on the line' and team spirit was superb going in to the plate final against a strong Kirkham Grammar side.
Could they scoop the prize? Thomas, Cain and Wilson had been 'on fire' all day ..... Could this Kirkham side 'put them out???' The troops were rallied by coaches Lavender and Muscatelli
