A full strength team of Tin Tin Ho, Emily Bolton and Maria achieved 5 wins out of 5 during the second weekend of the Junior British League. Despite the excellent team performance though the team finished second due to the less than expected points accumulation during the first weekend.
The team beat St Andrews 5-1, Wales 6-0, Burton Uxbridge 1 5-1 (the team that finished first) , Draycott 6-0 and the Irish girls 6-0. Maria won 9 out of her 10 games and finished with a 89.5% average overall.
