Their attacking play, confidence on the ball and strong team cohesion have all shone through, an exciting season lies ahead for this talented squad!

The team has also reached the Quarter finals of the County Cup, where they will be playing either St Clement Danes or St Albans High.  A fantastic set of achievements already, well done to the U15s!

The year 10 team had a new manager this year, with Mr Smith replacing Mr Harold.  The boys have had a good start to this year, with excellent wins against Parmiters (3-1), Kings Langley (1-0) and Clement Danes (3-0).  Even in their 2 losses this year they were the better team (and that is not a bias Queens’ teacher view!).  Samuel and Kai at the back have been outstanding, whilst Joss has shown that he has an eye for a goal, scoring a hatrick against Clement Danes.  They have reached the quarter final of the county cup, and looking to progress.
