Having hosted and qualified from the regional competition last term Westbrook Hay girls' U11 football team attended the ntional IAPS football finals for the first time in its history. Comprised of the top 12 teams in the country, it was hosted by Cranleigh School in Surrey.
In the group stages the team got off to a slow start losing the first game to a very unfortunately goal, from then on the team went from strength to strength winning three and drawing one game in the remaining group games. This meant that the girls qualified through to the semifinals of the national cup in second place where they met a strong Daneshill team. However a collectively impressive performance and a brilliant individual goad from Georgie saw the team win 1 - 0 and with stoic defensive perfofmance they made their way through to the national final.
In the final they met Surbiton who had not lost a game or conceded a goal at an point in the competition a brilliantly organised team performance and an excellent individual goal from Maggie saw Westbrook though to a one nil victory to become national champions. The team only conceded on goal in the entire competition and played with brilliant organisation and a fantastic spirit throughout. Credit to the two coaches Mr Loveless and Miss starr. Also many thanks to the support with every girl in the squad represented by a passionate team of Westbrook parents.
