Ladies first team travelled to Leicester this weekend for their Stage 1 Weekend. Their first match was against Leicestershire, a strong county, a 3-2 win.

Our second match was against Nottinghamshire, their No.1 was injured but still a very strong team.
1. Grace Gear v Siobhan Knight 11/3 11/5 11/6 3-0
2. Amber Marshall v Cat Rae 9/11 11/8 11/7 11/3 3-1

4. Maureen Morrison v Alison Goy 11/9 7/11 5/11 6/11 1-3
5. Isobel Smith v Saoirse O’Sullivan 11/8 11/9 11/4 3-0
Our third match we received a walkover from Worcestershire as they had too many injured players.
Great effort from the team but definitely the best performance from Amber Marshall to go on court against Nottinghamshire with the match at 2 -2 and play an incredible, controlled game of squash to win the match for Herts! Well done to her. Therefore Herts have won their group and will go forward to the promotion weekend in March 2016.
