Girls Division 1
Parc Premier Sports

Parc Premier Sports (Rottweiler's) is in its second season, last season we finished 3rd in Division 3 with the team at that time consisting of Natasha Rees, Hannah Avery, Charlotte Carey and Amy Palin (PARC being acronym of their surnames).

This season the team consists of Natasha Rees, Hannah Avery, Beth Roberts and Amy Palin. We were delighted to be moved to the 1st division which would be a bigger challenge and enable the team to play against betters players. Unfortunately Amy was unable to attend and I wish her speedy recovery from her illness.

On the first weekend we competed against the following teams:

DHS Greenhouse Progress '1' : Lost 5-1
Bridge Club: Drew 3-3
Team Peniel A: Won 4-2
Irish Girls (Or Ireland as they are also known): Lost 5-1

and, the final game of the weekend against Batts Raquetsports the other all Welsh girl team in the division. Parc Premier Sport managed a win in a tightly contested match. This match was played in good spirit and sportsmanship, and I was impressed by the professionalism, integrity of all the players.

Overall we Won 2, Lost 2, Drew 1
finishing in 4th place with 5 points

Parc Premier Sports also won the 'Best Girls Team' award for the weekend nominated by the JBL organisers, Natasha, Hannah and Beth received a trophy each. Just reward for a team who's determination, tenacity, attitude and approach to the tournament is second to none, and I am proud to be part of the team. It was a great team effort and each individual knows the part they played in such a competitive division. Well done to each one of you. Also, good luck to all those Welsh players who play in the JBL.
