KIRKHAM Grammar School 1st XI competed in the Lancashire Schools Under 19 Tournament at Witton Park, Blackburn.

Kirkham won their pool and were drawn against Runshaw College in the semi-final. Kirkham dominated the match and won the game to earn a place in the final against Arnold School.

Any match between Kirkham and Arnold is always a very closely fought contest.

The Kirkham girls played extremely well and won the final 1-0. A well deserved victory by an excellent 1st X1 team.

Martha Newell, Kirkham Grammar School 1st XI Captain last season, was selected for Cambridge University's 1st XI team to play against Oxford University last Wednesday.

To win a full 'blue' in her first year at Cambridge is a rare achievement and Martha deserved and received congratulations from the school.
