Wycombe Abbey: National Schools' Lacrosse Champions

Wycombe Abbey congratulates our U14 Lacrosse squad who completed a hat-trick of Lacrosse tournament victories this season to be crowned National Champions on Saturday. The trophy was collected on behalf of the team by Helen, after a superb team performance - finishing with a convincing win over Lady Eleanor Holles in the final.

Other victims of Wycombe's slick passing and tactically astute defending included St Catherine's Bramley, Berkhamsted, Benenden, St George's Harpenden and Godolphin. The title of National Champions was the 'icing on the cake' for a year group who are also Midlands' Lacrosse Champions, 8 a-side Tournament Lacrosse Champions, District Netball Champions and Regional Netball Finalists.

The National Schools' Lacrosse Championships is the culmination of the season's hard work. Five squads competed in the tournament on the weekend, with all teams recording fantastic results. The First and Second squads both qualified for the premier division in their respective tournaments, which places them in the elite fourteen teams. Polly had another good tournament in goal for our top squad, who had a number of close matches against the rest of the best in the country.

The Second squad improved steadily over the two days. Inspired by the team quote borrowed from the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley, they were indeed the 'masters of their fate' as they employed many of the skills they have developed this season. Although all members of the squad played well, Geeta's leadership was invaluable, and Connie, Lucy and Sophie worked tirelessly in the midfield defence to create numerous 'positive turnovers'.

Our Thirds also competed in the U19 'B' tournament, playing a number of hard-fought matches and maintaining excellent team spirit throughout. The U15 'B' squad impressed with their disciplined defending and dynamic attacking and narrowly missed out on qualifying for the semi-finals.
