It’s been a really good season for Wirral Girls in Volleyball England national competitions:

• U16 Silver Cup winners
• 5th place in U15 Gold Cup
• 6th Place in U18 Silver Cup

Overall national rankings:

• U15G 13th
• U16G 15th
• U18G 16th

The U15/16s are a really promising group and they’ve qualified to play in Volleyball England’s Gold Tier (9th-16th) competitions next season.

Unfortunately however we have only 7 or 8 players – not really enough to run a season-long campaign – and most of our U18s are off to Uni in September leaving the club desperately short of players.
