Junior County

For history of the Junior County Side please look here.

The Junior team open up with a clash against Potteries & District before facing Warwick and Worcester and finish off with a game against North Midlands. There’s no question that Warwick and Worcester will be the decisive clash, they finished runners up last season. It will be the first clash since the 2014 final which was remembered for all the wrong reasons, and hopefully this game will pass off without any trouble and be remembered for the on green action and not off. We play Potteries & District for the first time since 2014 when we beat them comfortably home and away, and North Midlands in 2013, having 23 winners.

2017 Junior County Fixtures

Sunday 9th July vs. North Midlands

Shropshire Juniors earned their second win of 2017 but it wasn’t enough to go through the group as winner after Warwick & Worcester hammered Potteries & District by 271. We beat North Midlands by 70 overall with a 43 shot home win and 27 away. Two winners in the first four at home established a 5 shot lead which with two single figure winners, Camilla Parsonage 5 and Charlie Hotchkiss 7, before three winners at the back, led by Liam Dovey’s 9 win, meant a good win at home. Away at Atherstone and three winners in the first four meant a 6 shot lead with Emma Massey Jones the best of the three winning 8. Two wins in the middle, including a debut win for Alex Salamino 14, kept a lead of 4 before Edward Proudlove’s 5 and Joe Killen’s 10 wins meant a great away result in the end.

We will now take our place in the Supplementary on Sunday 13th August.

Away from home on a tough green at Lea Hall it was a good performance in a 48 chalk deficit with two winners, Russell Crocker 14 and Liam Edwards 16.
