Double success for our 8 & Under Teams

There was success for our Lancashire 8 & Under Girls and Boys teams last weekend in County Cup at Wrexham.

Lancashire fielded both a A and B team in both the Girls and Boys events and played against, Cumbria, North Wales and Isle of Man (Boys team only).

Captain:             Danielle Gallagher                 Assistant Captain:          Sarah Hiller

Boys A Team: Oscar Cullen, Oliver De Lange, Abhirath Kulkarni and Leighton Newsham

Boys B Team: Eden Anders, James Benson, Stanley Purvis and Samson Sparrow

Girls A Team: Madison Hart, Alissa Mitchell, Martha Senior and Cerys Twose.

Girls B Team: Poppy Boyes, Poppy Smallwood, Orla Thompson and Esme Varsiana.

It was a tough start for all our teams with our Boys A playing our Boys B team and same in the girls. After some great matches the Boys A team narrowly beat the B team 6-4 with a great attitude shown by all the players. It was even closer for the girls with the A team taking the victory but only beacuse they won more points than the B team. Both boys teams went on to beat Cumbria and North Wales comfortably. The team that we knew were going to pose a challenge were Isle Of Man, both teams rose to the challenge and beat them despite a great showing by Isle of Man.

In the girls, Cumbria and North Wales put up a great challenge but both Lancashire teams claimed the victory. This meant that the Boys and Girls A teams were crowned champions after not losing a fixure with the B teams both coming in 2nd place.

Well done to all the players and parents who supposrted the teams on the day.
