The Senior County team edged home against Wales by 26 chalks, winning by 14 at home and 12 away. It wasn’t plain sailing though, trailing by 5 after four games off at each venue and then only 7 up after eight games off.
The first four at home was shared but we trailed by 5 chalks, whilst the first four away were also shared with Paul Evans best winner of the away leg 21-10 meaning we were level there. Three winners in the middle four, led by Jamie King’s best win 21-4, allowed us to go into the lead at 18 up. Only one winner in the middle four at Llay, Kiah Roberts 21-13, caused us to fall behind by 11 chalks there, but we led by 7 overall. Into the back four and we had just the two winners at home which meant we only won by 14 there. However the last four away all won, so we won by 12 there and 26 overall.
Well done to the team, and focus turns to Warwick & Worcester on Sunday 2nd June. They beat Potteries & District by 44 today, so whoever wins will be in pole position to qualify from the group.
