“I think based on the numbers that some teams went over with, they did extremely well,” Davis said.
“The senior teams were down to 12, 13 players and at that level that’s a huge ask to be competitive. So they did amazing.
“With the younger girls, the 11s got a win and they progressed to the quarter finals with that win.
“12s didn’t get a win but made big improvements on their scores from the state cup. Across the board the results were positive.
“I’m super proud of how all the teams performed and their sportsmanship.”
