December 11th saw the 2010 national junior women's indoor championships take place in Malpas, Cheshire. With a record 14 teams competing (we have never had more than 7 teams in this event), this will be the last time this tournament can take place on a single day. We may also have to look at an u17s girls event next year as well.
Reigning champions Rhinos from Stourport were as strong as ever and managed to go the entire day never conceding more than 3 points in any single game. With such dominance, the others were playing for the honour of making the final and the first big shock came when Ocelots beat last year's finalists Flux 11-4. It meant Flux needed to be Badgerettes to make the semis, but it wasn't to be their year. Badgerettes making their first ever appearance in 5 years at this tournament did very well to finish 3rd beating Evolution who narrowly lost out to Ocelots in their semi-final. So, congratulations to 3 times champions Rhinos. Great to see new teams Hedge-Hogs from Wycombe School and Fulneck School, and great that Badgers finally managed to get a team along. Equally great to see Flux manage to bring 3 teams and so many other 2nd teams there. Very encouraging for the future of junior women's ultimate in this country. 1 Rhinos (Stourport) 2 Ocelots 1 (Malpas with help from Calday/Liverpool) 3 Air Badgerettes 1 (Exeter) 4 Evolution (Warwick) 5 Flux 1 (Leicester) 6 Arctic 1 (Sutton Coldfield) 7= Flux 3 (Leicester) 7= Team Hogs (Wycombe) 9 Air Badgerettes 2 (Exeter) 10 Team Hedge (Wycombe) 11 Flux 2 (Leicester) 12 Ocelots 2 (Malpas, Cheshire) 13 Arctic 2 (Sutton Coldfield) 14 Fulneck (Pudsey, near Leeds/Bradford) Kevin.
