County Teams

Good-news!

The ladies county team played Finchley Manor in Middlesex in November and stormed away with a resounding victory dropping only 4 points out of a maximum total of 60. We were a really strong team as all of us have trained and played hard since last year which showed and was also commented on by Herts as we lost to them last season.

The team was 1.Maxine Dove 2. Katie Lawrence (captain) 3. Zoe Owens 4.Emily Ison 5. Bryony Paczy-Smith

We played Middlesex II (won 4-1), Kent II won (5-0) and Hertfordshire I (won 4-1).

This puts us in the promotion group for Stage II.

Well done to all the players, a fantastic result, fingers crossed for Stage II.

Congratulations to County debutants Norman Allen (Martlesham) and Martyn Robinson (Moreton Hall) representing their county for the first time at the age of 64 and 65! The rest of the team was made up by Peter Alexander, Dave Taylor and John Goodrich.
