Well done to our Juniors for winning the Junior County Championship for the first time in 20 years.
They comfortably beat Wales home and away to win by 128 overall.
It wasn’t comfortable after the first four though as the home team were only 9 up sharing the front four, Jarratt Cotterill best winner 13. It was also shared away, Jack Peach the best winner there 11, to mean we were level there.
The middle four was where we blew them away like we did in Yorkshire. Three single figure winners led by Harris Needham 21-2 meant we led by 65 there, with debutant Luis Reeves winning 17, and three winners away, Ellis Griffiths best of them 7, as well as debutants Jacob Wall and Luca Moseley winning 14 and 16 respectively, meant a 21 shot lead there.
Once Myles Fisher won 8 away, and Tom Clarke won 3 at home, to earn player of the match there, it meant the win was sealed and the Junior County Championship coming back to Shropshire. Myles Smith was another reserve who came in and came up against a classy opponent, while Lewis Hanmer beat Haiden Williams 13, who had played the previous week on the same green and won 6, to earn himself the player of the match award.
Well done to the side today on making history and following the 1999 and 2006 sides into the history books.
Pictures are to follow.
