The team, who were beaten to first place by Kingston Grammar School, have had a hugely successful season, having won all 10 matches this term against Ardingly, Bedales, Brighton College, Churcher's, Hampshire Collegiate, Hurtspierpoint, KE Witley, Lancing, Lord Wandsworth and Portsmouth Grammar School, scoring 74 goals and conceding nine.

The school's successful campaign for the south tournament began last month in Eastbourne, where they won the Sussex round by beating St Bede's in the final. This qualified them for the National Schools Regional finals in Surbiton on November 20.

The victorious squad comprised Ellie Wright, Jess Jarvis, Alice Jeffries, Martha Taylor, Harriet Taylor, Jenny Langmead, Mel Sutherland, Pia Grambusch, Annie Jinks, Lorna Haydon, Ellie Murray, Maxi Remmert, Amelia Bovey, Steph von Molendorff, Becky Carey, Danielle Starkey and Lara Bugle.
