Congratulations to this young u14 team on their County final win. The girls faced a strong Cappawhite team on the 26th of September. A 6-point deficit at half time did not deter the girls who came out strong after the break. Every girl played their part and worked hard as a team to get the result, a one-point victory. Hard luck to Cappawhite, they never gave up and were determined to the end. Final score 3-6 to 3-5.
