The boys finished on 4 points and did not qualify for the play-off semi-final. However, they produced a very strong finish with great teams displays and should be proud of how they performed throughout.
The girls recorded 12 points in their dominating performances and qualified for the play-off semi final, where they met Buick. A strong start saw the girls taking the lead through a well-placed strike from Lily-Brooke Wallace, but Buick came back into the game shortly after with two quick-fire goals. The girls pressed and pressed but just could not find the leveller, and it was Buick who proceeded to the final. There were outstanding performances throughout, and the girls will be looking forward to getting back onto the pitch for their next tournament.
Well done to all who took part today!
