Team member Sydney, who studies Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics at The Sixth Form College, was thrilled with their achievement, “It was great to have the opportunity to represent the college doing something we all enjoy. We’ve had lots of support from the tutors, particularly Pat Riley who has been great helping us throughout.”

Sports and Physical Education Tutor, Patrick Riley added, “The girls were absolutely fantastic and put in a lot of hard work. I’m pleased this is reflected in their results and proud of how well they have done.”
