A LICHFIELD school is celebrating after its under 16 netball team was crowned Staffordshire champions for the second year in a row.
King Edward VI School took the honours in a tournament held at Denstone College earlier this month.
After losing their first game in the group stage, they won their second encounter 27-0 and then drew 10-10 with Kingsmead.
The results meant they progressed to the semi-final where they then saw off opponents from Newcastle-under-Lyme to set up a final encounter with St Joseph’s – the same team who had beaten them in the opening group game.
But with a place in the regional finals in January 2025 already in the bag, the King Edward VI School side produced a fine display to secure the county crown.
