A LACROSSE team at Godolphin School have been crowned national champions.
The school's under-15s triumphed at 2016 Rathbones National School Lacrosse Championships, Guildford on Monday after edging a highly-competitive final against Downe House 2-1.
The final was one of ten matches they were involved in, four of which were knock-out games.
Leslie Banks, head of lacrosse at Godolphin School, said: “The girls really gave it everything they had and played with a maturity that would usually suit a successful senior team. They made the school proud."
“Throughout the knockout stages the girls showed great mentality, especially in staying composed, I told them to take that in to the final and they rose to the challenge.”
