Thanks to Dave Marques from Welwyn for proving me with some more detail about Wednesday - including the brilliant quote above from one of the players from Yavneh College which deserves to be hung up and framed somewhere!
Six teams entered - four from single schools - Highfield (Letchworth); Hitchin Girls; Roysia (Royston), and Yavneh College (Borehamwood) and then two combined teams - Stanborough/Sir Frederic Osborne (from Welwyn Garden City) and Chauncey/Simon Balle/Presdales (from Hertford).
The latter two teams - well padded out with experienced club players from their respective town's teams - were from the outset going to be clearly too powerful for the relative newcomers from the other schools (virtually all of whom had only started playing this season). So it was decided that "Welwyn Schools v Hertford Schools" would be the final - which Hertford won by five tries to one. Both of these teams go through to the next stage.
The remaining teams played in a "newcomers" tournament which was won by Hitchin Girls by virtue of conceeding one try less than Highfield. However, perhaps the performance of the day was from Yavneh who were all year seven girls and, while they lost two and drew one, "were a really plucky bunch!".
