Ashcombe reached both the Under 18 and Under 16 rounds of the National competitions but found the competition very high and did not reach the semi finals. The Under 16 squad coached by Sue Sayers and playing as Newbury was the most successful, beating Redhill[Stourbridge] in their pool matches and finishing a very creditable 5th place. The Under 18 squad was unable to win a match in their pool but all agreed they gained valuable experience with many of them still young enough to compete again next season.
