THREE junior players from Bromsgrove Hockey Club have been part of the successful Worcestershire under-15s side that stormed to the Midlands finals.

Charlie Cole, Alice Taylor and Tricky Burton all played their part, as Worcestershire won all their matches to the final.

The side opened the tournament by defeating Shropshire 2-0 and then beat Nottinghamshire 3-0.

A 4-0 win over Leicestershire and 3-0 victory over Northamptonshire made sure that Worcestershire won their group stage and qualified for the semi-finals. Worcestershire booked its place in the finals by defeating Staffordshire 2-0.

In the final they met Derbyshire and after holding their rivals to 0-0 they lost on penalties.

Bromsgrove women's captain Jenny Griffiths said: "The girls deserve a lot of credit as they did very well."
