Gorseinon College (Afan Nedd Tawe) beat Blaengwawr Comprehensive (Glamorgan Valleys), Ysgol Brynhyfryd (North East Wales) and Llanidloes High School (Powys) to win Pool A. Llanidloes High School beat Blaengwawr Comprehensive and Ysgol Brynhyfryd to finish runners-up.
Rydal Penrhos (Eryri) beat Llanishen High (Cardiff and the Vale) and Ysgol Bro Gwaun (Dyfed) and drew with Cwmcarn Comprehensive (South East Wales) to finish top of Pool B. Cwmcarn also drew with Llanishen and Ysgol Bro Gwaun - whilst they had not lost a match, it was not enough to earn them a semi-final place which went to Llanishen High
The semi-finals were very exciting with Rydal Penrhos just managing to beat Llanidloes 2 - 1 and Gorseinon College beating Llanishen High 2 - 1 in a Penalty Stoke Competition which followed an end to end match with a final score of 3 - 3. The final was a repeat of last year, however, on this occasion there were no penalty strokes - Gorseinon College (Afan Nedd Tawe) beat Rydal Penrhos (Eryri) by 2 goals to 0 to retain the trophy.
Anne Ellis, WHU President, congratulated all the teams on getting to the finals and giving such an excellent display of hockey which was the result of the dedication and commitment of teachers throughout the Principality. Thanks to all the players, staff, umpires, volunteers and supporters for their assistance with this event.
