Lacrosse girls' final, Excelsior ,Amanda Graham-Golding-coached team, was able to stave off the challenge from Wolmer's to retain the title they won for the first time last year.
The champions, who had beaten Wolmer's quite easily earlier this season, found their opponents a much more difficult nut to crack in the final.
Excelsior returned a much different team in the second half and their obvious quality shun through, as they who took control of the game in the latter half to ensure the trophy returned to 137 Mountain View Avenue.
