A YEAR 12 student at Monmouth School for Girls has won an outstanding accolade at the Welsh Schools Netball finals.
Annie Taylor was named Player of the Tournament as the Monmouth girls shone to finish third overall in the eight-team finals.
Representing South-East Wales and competing against seven other schools, the Monmouth team played superbly to top their group unbeaten, winning matches against Y Strade (21-11), Brynrefail (32-4) and Cardiff High School (22-20).
Winning the group meant that the girls met Cwm Rhymni in the semi-finals. But, on this occasion, the Monmouth girls slipped to defeat.
