U11 Girls Friendly: 19th January 2008, Upton House School, Windsor

Sussex Girls Win Again!

On Saturday 19th January the Sussex under 11 Girls Team travelled to Upton House School in Windsor to take part in a friendly event. Other counties taking part were Berkshire , Oxfordshire and Barnet.

The team of twelve girls were Hannah Watkinson, Cosima Keen, Eliza McHugh, Katherine Lane , Katie O’Nunain, Harriett Tomlin, Lauren Merry, Beth Shoesmith, Emily Yates, Danielle Parada-Sanchez, Rachel O’Nunain and Isabel O’Nunain.

Matches were played with 30 mins on the clock covering three rounds. Hannah and Cosima would alternate board 1 position.

After round 1 Sussex and Oxfordshire looked to be evenly placed: Sussex winning 10 of their 12 games. Could Sussex hold their nerve; Oxfordshire were the next opponents. The Team played their hardest and won 8 out of the twelve games. We could not be complacent entering round 3 and with great determination the girls entered the playing hall. Nine games won against Barnet. Winning position again.

Well done girls and in particular to Rachel and Isabel representing the County for the first time.

Final scores: Sussex 27, Oxfordshire23 ½, Berkshire 11 ½ and Barnet 10.

Thanks to Nigel Dennis and Trevor Jones for organising the Event.
