Peter Mellor wins junior prize at Nottingham

Congratulations to Shropshire Junior's county team board one Peter Mellor who played in the Nottingham Congress last weekend and won the top junior prize with 3.5/5 in the under 100 section.

Juniors excel in league season

Shrewsbury Juniors and Newport Juniors finished fourth and fifth respectively in Shropshire's division three this season, a very good outcome for both teams who have made some great results against higher-graded adult teams. Shrewsbury, who scored five wins and three draws from 12 matches, were lying in third place right up until the last match but a match default by Wellington B let Oswestry B slip past them. Let's hope they can match that form in the summer cup competitions!
