The u17 and u13 boys and girls teams played on Sunday ?? of November. It was good news for all!!
Boys u17 travelled to Manchester to play Lancashire and Cumbria. The team was Dave Elsender, Richard Shellam, Alex Storey, Dan Ward, Daniel Routledge and David Breakey. The match against Lancashire was a tough one with the top 3 in their team in the top 20 in England. The match was lost 5-0 with only Richard Shellam managing to get a game! The match against Cumbria was however Nortumbria’s turn to win 5-0 and therefore come 2nd in the group and progress to the next round in feb/march time.
Girls u17 also travelled and played at Darlington against Durham & Cleveland and Cumbria. The team was Sarah Oswald, Anna Oswald, Sara Potter , Hannah Cliff and Lucy Robinson. They won both matches , 5-0 against Cumbria and 4-1 Vs D & C. With number 1 Kimberley Hay to come back for second half the girls have a good chance of reaching the National finals!
