PROMISING hockey star Tina Evans helped lead the Midlands U-16 girls to victory in a regional tournament at the National Stadium, Milton Keynes.

Vice-captain and sweeper Evans, 14, plays for Stourport Ladies 1sts and attends King Charles High School.

The Midlands only conceded four goals in as many matches, defeating the West 3-1, East 4-0 and South 3-2, only losing to the North 1-0.

It's the second time that Evans, of Spennells, has represented the age group - she took silver last year - and she will be eligible again next year.

In the past, she has received support from the Ray Mercer Sports Foundation.
