Strong showing for county team

The Shropshire Junior county team came very close to chalking up their first points in the Midlands county championship with a 6.5-5.5 result against Nottinghamshire on 15 November. The junior team has represented the county for the past two seasons in this competition with the vast majority of their opponents being experienced adult players. The latest match is their best result so far. Shropshire winners against Nottinghamshire were Athar Mehmood, Huw Davenport, Matthew Best and Matthew Mellor, while draws were achieved by Mark Richards, Jamie Allan and Angelica Dean. A number of the other games were also close and it looked at one stage as if we might pull off a victory. Overall it was a fantastic performance by the team! The next match is on 13 December against Worcestershire. MATCH - Shropshire U100 v Nottinghamshire
