Boys U13 – Team: James Lee, Charles Hill, Harry Mander, Ryan Bennett and Vinayak Chikermane
The boys all stepped up in the absence of Ismail Khalil. Hampshire were beaten 5-0 in the first match before coming up against a very strong Kent Side who were too strong. A 1-4 loss to Yorkshire leaving the boys in a creditable 4th place.

Girls U15 – Team: Meha Shah, Mariam Eissa, Isobel Beynon-Cobb, Trinity Roberton, Madeleine Willers, Erin Friend and Katie Brown
The girls kicked off with 4-1 win against Essex, then losing out 1-4 to Yorkshire in the semi-finals. South East Wales were then beaten 4-1 for the girls to finish 3rd.

Boys U15 A – Team: Jared Evans, Harry Green, Joel Cleaver, Rohan Sahota, Daniel Chilvers and Harry Stephens
The A team lost out to Yorkshire 1-4 and Middlesex 2-3 in their first two matches. They got a good win over Lincolshire (4-1) to finish 7th.

Boys U15 B – Team: Daniel Parker, Harry Stephens, David Menzies, Ojas Mishra and Harry Stevens
The B team were in the plate finals and recorded wins over South East Wales (3-2) and Leicestershire (5-0). Devon just had too much for them, resulting in a 2nd place plate finish.

Boys U17 – Team: Syed Hasnain, Tom Watkins, Luke Friend, Jack Pegler and Jack Stevens
This was another team missing an important player, but everyone put in a great effort. Yorkshire were too good in round 1 (0-5) as were Essex (0-5) depsite some close matches in each tie. A much tighter final game against Cheshire and a 3-2 win to finish 7th.
