Neatherd High School: After previously winning the County finals, Neatherd KS3 girls badminton team travelled to Thetford to represent Norfolk in the Badminton England Schools Regional Finals. The team consisting of Jasmine, Evie, Katherine, Jess and Abbey, breezed past Cambridgeshire (represented by Comberton School) 5-0 and then beat Bedfordshire (represented by Cedars School) 4-1. These great results took them straight through into the final against Essex (represented by Chelmsford High School). Chelmsford fielded an exceptional team with two players that frequent the National circuit, one of which is ranked within the top 100 female players in England. Our girls put up a spirited fight in all of their games, but finally succumbed 5 games to 0. All returned to school sporting very well earned silver medals. With grateful thanks to Mr Miller and his PE department for allowing us to enter this competition, and to all the volunteers which made our travel possible. Faye LeBon (coach)
