Medway Grand Prix

with the runners up glass trophy

Band 3 final action shot

A good weekend at Medway Grand Prix playing against some very good players. On Saturday, for the band 2 Maria went through her group with 2/3 wins and then she was eliminated at the Quarter Finals. In the afternoon she reached the final for band 3 whereas she lost on the fifth to Emma Torkington. On Sunday morning a good performance beating Janay Gibson and then losing to England player Emma Vickers 3-1 at quarter finals. The long delay waiting for the Under21s groups contributed to the elimination from the group stage.
