The U16 Girls Hockey Team at Haberdashers’ Monmouth School has triumphed as Welsh National Champions, showcasing exceptional talent, teamwork and determination throughout the competition.
After a season of dedicated training—often competing against the school’s U18 squad and playing for local clubs—the team entered the Welsh National Championship prepared for every challenge. Despite facing injuries and last-minute squad adjustments, they remained resilient and adaptable, ultimately emerging victorious.
Their journey to the title included topping their group with victories over Christ College Brecon (2-0) and Glantaff (1-0), followed by a hard-fought semi-final win against Llandaff Cathedral (2-1), where they overturned a 1-0 deficit in the last minutes of the game.
In the final against Brynhyfred, early attacking play secured a 2-0 victory, with goals from Jess S and Lillie R, sealing their place as U16 Welsh National Champions.
Senior Head, Rachel Ree,s praised the team’s outstanding achievement:
“We are so proud of our U16 squad! They showed incredible determination, particularly in the semi-final, where two goals in the last four minutes secured their place in the final. It’s even more impressive that many of the players are in the U15 age category, who had an unbeaten season, scoring 71 goals and conceding just four! Congratulations to the team and coaches on this fantastic achievement.”
This victory is a testament to the dedication of the players, coaches and the entire Haberdashers’ Monmouth School community. Congratulations to our U16 Welsh National Champions!
