England U21 win England Vs Wales 2022 International in Wales

Ava and Sean travelled to Wales over the weekend to take part in the England Under 21 vs Wales Under 21 International.

The competition consisted of 6 rounds with each player involved in 5 matches, a mixture of pairs, triples and fours.

England won the first two rounds. The third round resulted in a draw.

After Lunch Wales fought back winning the next round.

In the final round Wales were winning on all mats apart from one. Winning on that Mat would have resulted in a draw where shot difference would have been examined.

England won their match on the last mat 10 -5 to win the competition.

Final score:

England 44 points, Wales 36 points.  (England 357 shots. Wales 311 shots)   

    

 Congratulations to Ava, Sean and all members of the England Under 21 team.

REPORT ON NOMADS FRIENDLY.

 Before I comment on the epic battle against Nomads we are grateful to Richard for bringing his own lunch otherwise I do not think the 32 muffins Marcus bought to celebrate his 55th birthday would have been sufficient.

The highlight of the evening for me though was Pam's cheer as she nailed the jack with her first bowl in 2 years. Welcome back Pam. 

Welcome back to all the friends we have not seen, for what seems like an eternity.
