One of our most important matches is the Varsity Match, where a half-blue may be earned. For the past few years we have taken teams to Intershoot, an International competition in The Hague. The Ladies Team came away with team Bronze on all three days in 2001, with Kate Smith winning individual Bronze in the Junior Section on the final day, and Laura Stanning achieved a personal best of 9th equal against several Commonwealth representatives.
