TEAM SUCCESS

Cricket The U13 & U15 teams competed in the Lady Taverners Indoor cricket county championships. The U15s narrowly lost out but the U13s were crowned county champions and progressed to the Regional Finals. They travelled to Surrey on 18 April and played some fantastic cricket. Losing in the semi final to the eventual winners. In the end our girls finished 4th out of 8 counties, a good result considering the quality of the opposition.

CAMPAIGN UPDATE

Old Girls Hockey Match On Thursday 21 April at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre the current Students and Staff played against the Old Girls of Wycombe High to mark the 105 year anniversary of the Old Girls Hockey Association and raise funds for the campaign. The match was well attended and the players put on a great display of hockey at the school through the years. Mrs Cromie started the match and the old girls scored first and found the net several times in the first half and the current girls scored from a penalty flick. The half time oranges did their job and both teams came back out refreshed and ready for more goals, 1 for the old girls and 2 for the current team.

Trophies were awarded afterwards, with the Old Girls being crowned champions. Everyone enjoyed swapping stories over cakes and refreshments. A great evening and £400 raised. Liz Tidy—Old Girls Captain Beth Wagge—1st XI Captain
