DEVON U15s and U13s (pictured above) had their best season ever in 2006.

   Both teams beat off competition from Somerset, Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Sussex, Dorset, Cornwall, the Isle of Wight and Wales to win the South West Division of the South and South West League.

   The teams also went forward to represent the South West in the national semi-finals of the league.

   Despite fighting hard the U13s lost to the South East Division when they played in Kent. The same fate befell the U15s a week later.

   The South West Division win was a remarkable achievement for the U13s, who were enjoying their first season of league play.

   The teams are captained by sisters Celia Hayes and Julia Hayes of Plymouth College and sponsored by Bartons Solicitors from the South Hams.

   The season ended on a high note for the girls when they played an exhibition match at the Npower Women's Test match between England and India at Taunton. They got to meet the players and pick up some top tips for the 2007 season.
