Riding Success for Imogen (LVI)
Imogen and her horse Vinnie recently competed in the National Schools Equestrian Association (NSEA) Eventers Challenge qualifiers at Northallerton.
They placed 6th in the 95cm and an amazing 2nd in the 105cm, therefore qualifying for the national championships at Hickstead in May. Very well done and good luck with your upcoming riding!
Fantastic Lacrosse Success Beyond QM

Several girls were invited to trial and train for the U18 + U15 Super Counties tournament, on the back of their positive performances at the county lacrosse tournaments.

Saturday 24th February 2024
Fixture: U13 B and U12 B v Pocklington.
POM: U13 B Freya, U12 B Annabel S

Both teams faced some tough opposition on Saturday but improved with each quarter and worked hard on their accuracy and decision-making when in possession.
Tuesday 27th February 2024
Fixture: QM Mavericks A vs. RI Eclipse
Score: Lost 44-29
POM (Player of the Match): Miss Burton
Report:
QM Mavericks A started strong against RI Breeze, who are second in the league. With only three goals separating the two teams after half-time, the A team knew it was going to be a competitive second half. As Mavs started to make a few errors in the third quarter, RI took advantage to win the game with ease.
Wednesday 28th February 2024
Fixture: QM Mavericks B vs. Stamford 2
Score: Lost 38-22
POM (Player of the Match): Miss Cheng
Report:
First game back after the half-term break saw QM Mavericks B take on Stamford 2. At halftime, the B team was up by one goal. The Bs predicted a tough second half and lost a bit of momentum when Stamford pulled ahead in the third quarter. Despite Mavs’ valiant attempt in the last quarter, it was Stamford who were victors. Unlucky Bs!
