CONGRATULATIONS WOMEN'S FENCING!
This is just a short one to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to the Women's Fencing team who this afternoon defeated Newcastle in the Women's Northern Premier League Play-Off 2009/10. After the York girls finished top of their league after a fantastic season, they then proceeded to knockouts for the chance to be promoted to Premier North for next year.
Five teams made it to the knock-out stage and even after winning Northern Conference 1B, the York ladies had to beat Liverpool 1sts and Loughborough 1sts en route to today's match against Newcastle. A final score of 123-83 today secured the girls' passage to Premier North where they will face Edinburgh, Durham, Manchester and Birmingham next year.
I'd like to say a big thank you to the Fencing Club for giving me a bit of a running commentary so I could actually understand what was going on this afternoon and of course, would like to say a massive well done to the girls and wish them the best of luck for next year in Prem!
