MEN’S COUNTY TEAM MAINTAIN GROUP 6 STATUS AT COUNTY WEEK

Northumberland Men’s County Team travelled to Hunstanton in Norfolk to compete in Group 6 at County Week held during 22nd-26th July 2024.

Having gained promotion to Group 6 in 2023 after some near misses in previous years, the Team were looking to consolidate their position and strive for a second promotion in successive years.

It was, however, a week of mixed fortunes with the Team losing to Staffordshire 4-5 on the first day, defeating Avon 7-2 on day 2 and Somerset 5-4 on day 3. A close match on day 4 saw the team lose to Shropshire 4-5 but an emphatic 9-0 win against Gloucestershire on the last day saw the team finish third in the Group to maintain their place in Group 6 for 2025.

The Team comprised: Lewis Scott (Team Manager and Captain), Ben Ashfield, Sam Knowles, Will Gray, Matthew Nice, Ronan Lunn, and Andrew Hunsley.
