The teams fought well against tough opposition. In the Pre Cadet boys the lads started well coming second in their pool to head into the semi-finals. Here they met the mighty London team, and in a thrilling battle it went all the way to the wire and the last contest but London won 3:4 so the lads won a great bronze medal.

In the Pre Cadet girls and Cadet boys it was a similar story as the team won through their pools and moved through into the semi-finals. Here it was team Scotland who proved too tough to handle and both the girls and the boys took a well-deserved bronze medal.

As well as the athletes we had coach Clare Bowie selected as a team South coach and our referees were out in force.

Well done dragons!
