Our Juniors started off their 2023 campaign with a win against Staffordshire by 68 overall. We had a slow start though, trailing by 4 at home despite a 21-5 win by Luke Morris, but did lead by 3 away despite just one winner in Austin Wilson 21-13. However, it was Rhys Marshall who started the turnaround, winning 21-0 at number 5, and helped by the two debutants both winning, Tad Broome 18 and Jack Cooke 17. We took the whole of the middle four away, with both debutants winning again, Joseph Pullen 16 and James Sanderson 15. Jarrett Cotterill added a 21-9 success at number 9 away which meant that we won by 16 there, with Harry Wilson producing a great performance to beat Sir John Bayley Premier League bowler Owen Evans 20 at number 12. A clean sweep of the back four, led by Thomas Oare winning 5, meant a 52 shot win at Old Shrewsbury.
Well done to our Juniors, and attention turns to our next game on Sunday 11th June against Wales, who lost by 67 against reigning champions Yorkshire today.
