For this year’s Junior British League team, it was all about support and experience; the team consisted of junior players Natalia Ianau and Patricia Ianau, alongside two young stars Sienna Jetha and Sophie Barcsai.

The team was very well conducted, cheering each other on at all times and sharing the positivity of gold medallists. Having won the Premier Division last season, playing in the Division 1 allowed for Sophie and Sienna to play in a more challenging and senior competitive environment.
