Thanks to everyone who came to the Burleigh Arms last Saturday for the Cambridge Awards evening.
In the end a total of 60 people turned out which made for a tight fit.
The pub put on loads of food for everyone and there was still plenty left at the end.
Kat took up the gauntlet of presenting the awards, ably assisted by Sue-Ellen.
Congratulations to all our award winners:
Badgers once again proved their dominance in the league and took home the Cambridge Touch trophy.
In the first half Badgers built up a strong lead which Superheros never managed to recover from. The final score was 9 – 6.
Well done Badgers!
In the other games, Bury beat Nightwings to take home the Plate and Dukes overcame Nobodys to take the Bowl.
Unfortunately due to a technical error, photos from the evening were lost, sorry.
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.
A massive congratulations to Midlands mixed team who reached the finals in last weekends Nationals Tournament in St Ives.
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!
