Each year we ask a number of our youngsters to report back on their SW IRC experience, today we focus on Anna Chojnacka (SW No 6) from our U16 Girls Squad.

My name is Anna and I am a student at King Alfred’s (Highbridge, Somerset) and also a player at Taunton VC. Also was lucky enough to represent south west once again.

On the 27th & 28th May I was chosen to be a part of in the inter-regional championships; representing South West. This was my second time representing South West but, this time I was playing in the u16’s team. I was playing as a middle (also played as a opposite).

This year was a lot tougher than last year. I knew that the other teams also will be really good but I knew that we will do well; and we did. We won 4 matches out of 6, and we ended up coming 3rd in England.

I was so proud of everyone, of how well everyone played and cooperated with each other because we don’t really play with each other often and didn’t have much practice. All of us managed to get to know each other well and I feel a lot closer to my team. I learnt a lot and got a lot out of it.

I would like to thank all the u14’s and u16’s girls for making that weekend amazing.
Also I would like to thank all of the coaches, specially Joana; for helping me a lot throughout that weekend. Also Neil for organising everything.Hopefully I will represent my region next year.
