What a weekend for our netballers at the county round of National Qualifiers. The U16s & U18s both took to the court with grit and determination and both made the final - making WHS the only school with both teams playing in their respective finals!
The U18s won six of their seven group stage matches securing them a spot in the final against Epsom College, where they put up an incredible battle, but fell a few goals short at the final whistle.
The U16s won two and lost two of their group matches but secured a spot in the final against Putney High. They battled hard going all the way to golden goal. Ciara M stepped up to take the final goal of the game and secured our spot in the regionals - it was an unbelievable moment.
Well done to Caitlin in Year 10, who has been selected for the Surrey Emerging Player Programme!
This opportunity is offered to the top cricket players in the country. It is run by Surrey's performance department, nurturing the best new talent for both County and England.
Congratulations Caitlin!
