Nationals Part 2
Midlands Women are National Champions
Midlands Women take the National title, taking the trophy away from the South East for the first time since the tournament’s inception
Write up by Kat Jones:
Although the Midlands sides didn’t have a long preparation time ahead of the tournament, many of the girls chosen for the WO side had played together either at the Premiership Permit or Senior Euro’s competitions in Edinburgh earlier in the summer giving them a great grounding as a team. The Midlands WO got off to a shaky start with a 5-2 loss to the SE sharks, but they built on each successive performance, beating the NW blades and SW Saxons 7-1 and 8-1 respectively later in the day. The following day the girls faced the Wales national side, and despite a late resurgence by Wales, the Midlands won by 7-3. Moments of brilliance by Jade Grantham (Notts) with a show-and-go and quickies between Jen Lee (galaxy), Anna Goddard (Cambs) and Sadi Meakin (Notts) created some lovely scores but the defensive performance really kept Wales out of the game.

Team:
Lou Rickard, Lizzy Sadler, Frances Raymond, Abigail Walters, Hannah Murphy, Eloise James, Jo Howson
Dean Hancock, Andrew Dyer, Callum Benson, Adam Boardman, Charlie Unsworth, Ben Dobson, Rhys Williams, Josh Grief
With only a few training sessions, Jo Howson coached the mixed team consisting of players from several clubs in the region. Good results in early games and a convincing win in the semis put them into the finals.
In the game the team never gave up and fought hard but ended up losing by a couple of touch downs.
Thanks to all those involved and players who participated in training sessions.
The future is bright and definitely orange too!
