Manager
Trevor Jones, said "It was a great performance that all the girls can be
proud of against some of the biggest Athletic Clubs from around the country.
I know that the girls can't wait for next year's McDonalds League to start so we
can qualify again and return next year. Thanks to all the girls for their
support and also the tremendous support I have had from
the parents in all the fixtures this year, it is greatly appreciated."
