THE Cardiff and Vale Under-14 Netball squad travelled to Bangor University for the Welsh Under-14 Inter-Counties Championships featuring players from Barry schools.

The squad of 26 players were selected in September, 2016, from more than 150 girls from all the secondary schools in Cardiff and Vale.

The squads were split into the A Team Tournament and the B Team tournament. Both teams set off to an impressive start by beating South East Wales convincingly and this set the tone for the day by beating North East Wales, Powys, North Wales and West Wales.

Two tough matches for the A Squad against Glamorgan Valleys and Afan Nedd Tawe saw the girls having to pull on all their experience and mental toughness to secure these victories, which they did and following some outstanding netball they secured the Welsh Title.

The B squad were incredible all day and won all their matches by some margin to become well deserved Welsh Champions. All the secondary schools should be extremely proud of these young netballers and what they have achieved.
