The first round of Ashcombe's journey in the Under 18 Women's National Championships was played at St Thomas More School, home of Croydon Volleyball Club. The team was without Alex Standifird and Georgia Bird, playing for Ashcombe Dorking 1 in the Super 8 match against Malory, but was still strong enough to win every game 2-0. Convincing wins over American School London, Richmond and Croydon takes Ashcombe to the second round at Wessex on Sunday 15th January. Sophie Szyszko set with growing confidence and Sian Warren, Isi Liebchen, Maddie Titus and Kristen Erickson showed real power at the net. Lauren Joyce's blocking was awesome and along with Megan Warren they snuffed out  most attacks. Daisy Haynes and Taina Bedeschi both served and attacked with confidence leading to a real squad performance. By the time Georgia and Alex arrived from their successful win over Malory the competition was won but the two players still had the energy to help Ashcombe win the last match against Croydon.
