In the Under 13 Girls competition, teams taking part were Lakelands, Marches (two teams), Newport Girls High (two teams), Ercall Wood, Charlton and William Brookes
Winners were Newport Girls High who added this title to their triumph at the indoor equivalent earlier in the year.
The Under 15 Girls competition saw teams from Marches, Ercall Wood, Thomas Adams, Charlton, Sir John Talbot and Mary Webb taking part.
Winners were Thomas Adams who along with the U13 Newport Girls High side will take part in their regional finals next month in Birmingham.
