The girls showed a fantastic team bond throughout the weekend, which played a huge part in their success. Cheshire were drawn in a group with Yorkshire, Hereford & Worcestershire, Derbyshire, and North Wales.

The girls then went straight back on court to face Yorkshire. Cheshire dominated the singles, winning three of the four matches, before going on to win both doubles ties and complete another convincing 5–1 victory.

On day two, Cheshire faced Derbyshire and North Wales. The girls were outstanding throughout the day, recording back-to-back 6–0 wins to top the group and qualify for the next stage of the competition.
