Following their success in the Leicestershire Schools Championships Bosworth U16 Girls competed in the Zone Finals in Grantham. Up against other county champions from Nottinghamshire and Suffolk the girls were always going to find the going tough especially with two of the 5 girls playing in their first competitive matches. In the first set of matches against Ipswich High School for Girls Bosworth were able to chalk up one victory within the first four matches. In the second series of matches the girls were able to take points off their opponents but only one game; losing the match 7-1 overall. In the second match against eventual winners Walton Girls High School Bosworth competed in some tight games but were unable to win an individual match against some very talented players; losing the match 8-0. On the positive side the girls got to see what they could achieve in a year’s time if they continue to play and find themselves a club to join. Hopefully the 5 girls will all play in the upcoming individual county championships and start to play in the county junior league.
