Sunday 9th March was a very busy day for our juniors and volunteers as Buckingham sent 6 minis teams to the Banbury HC festival held at Bloxham School.

The U8s played in the early competition in the bright sunshine and were fantastic. Buckingham managed to field three evenly matched U8 teams and finished the day with 8 wins, 3 draws and four losses across all matches played. The improvement from this group has been huge since the first outing in September. The mixed U10 team shortly followed led by Mo and were equally impressive. The girls and boys finished with 3 wins and a draw to win their competition.

The U12 girls won 2 (v Hawks and Thame) and lost 1 in their competition before the boys rounded off a great day winning all three of their matches (Banbury, Thame, Hawks) to win the BU12 comp!

The success didn't stop their as the GU10 team were involved in the County Cup at Amersham. The girls won 2 and lost 1 of their pool matches to qualify for the cup. They then faced the winners of pool B in the semi final and secured a 1-0 win which meant qualification through to the regionals. The girls lost in the final to a strong Marlow team but go through to the regionals finals along with Marlow next month!

A massive thank you to all the volunteers and parents that stepped up to run the teams on the day.
