Mens county report
Squad of the following
Luke Simkiss
Jake Hersey
Mason Recci
Simon Ferguson
Richard Partridge
Luca Pow
Harry Lazell
Cameron Malik
Alex Griffiths
Ferran Redza
The squad above had been selected with a touch of youth experience and a couple of world ranked players an ideal mix to potentially take Warwickshire to group 1
Real bonus to get Luke Simkiss involved at 10pm the night before as he got into the main draw in Milan (the bonus of keeping In touch with a great bunch of guys all year round )

Going into day 3 we were playing Scotkand who were favourites to go up winning their 2 previous days
But we outplayed the Scot’s with skill desire and narrowly missed out on promotion by finishing level with Herts at the top of the group but losing on head to head countback
Summing up the weekend so close on promotion missing out by a rubber over the 3 days
The whole team are a group who will be in div 1 sometime soon be in the summer or winter as they are doing this thing (in their words not for themselves but for each other and Warwickshire !)
We are now talking about the summer already with dates in the diary. My only concern is who would I drop from this team none of them deserve not to go in the summer ! In my opinion I’m group 2 we need 9 players
All the best
