U15B Lacrosse Nationals

On 20 March, our team headed to Wycombe Abbey school for the U15B lacrosse nationals, up against fifteen other schools.

After about half an hour of covering each other in red face paint and glitter, our team finally warmed up before our match against Haberdashers’ Girls’ School which we won 5-1. Feeling more confident and ready for the tournament ahead, we played a trickier match against Lady Eleanor Holles School, drawing 1-1 followed by a tense match against Benenden School in which they secured the 4-3 win. After a long lunch break, in which we discovered that we came second in our section, we were up against St Paul’s Girls school and qualified for the championships with a 4-1 win. We then got through to the semi finals by beating St Swithun’s 2-1. The semi finals match against Berkhamstead- who beat us significantly at the start of the season- was a suspenseful and close match with many turnovers of possession especially near the end. However, our team worked hard and we got through to the finals with a 3-2 win. Already tired out from semis, our determined team played resiliently against St Catherine’s, but ended up taking home silver after a 6-1 defeat.
