April 6th, 2012EPSCA Girls’ Under 11 Championships
April 6th, 2012The EPSCA Girls’ Under 11 Inter-Association Finals took place in Nottingham on 24th March and somewhat weakened Barnet team finished 8th. Although this does not match our amazing achievement last year – national girls champions – it is still very creditable. Team manager Angela Eyton is justifiably very proud of our young team – most will still be eligible next year when we look forward to hosting the event in Barnet.
Our under 11 Team wins its EPSCA zone!
April 6th, 2012Barnet’s Under 11 team matched the performance of the Under 9 team with an impressive win at the zone held at Newman College, NW10 on Saturday 17th March. They scored 44 points out of 60 and all team members, including the reserves, were awarded medals to commemorate the achievement. Team managers Angela Eyton and Tony Niccoli were particularly proud of the excellent attitude and team spirit. The final is on 12th May at Malcolm Arnold Academy in Northampton.

March 11th, 2012Barnet’s Under 9 team scored a spectacular victory in their Under 9 zone held in Essex on Saturday 10th March.
