In the semi finals the girls played their best hockey, showing excellent fitness levels as well as demonstrating strength and determination in the tackle.

The girls came out 2-0 winners against a tough Ventnor side. In the final, their seventh match in total, they made an excellent start by scoring a good early goal against a physical Romsey side.

However, unfortunately, they couldn't hold on and lost 2 -1. The girls can take great satisfaction in finishing in the top ten schools in the South.
