It’s now 3-1 to the League’s gents after their latest victory over the ladies in the challenge match for the Dave Ellis Memorial Shield.
They won the 15-a-side fun match at Bridgnorth on Friday 30th September that brought the curtain down on the 2022 season.
The host club worked tirelessly to get the game on after heavy rain that finally abated less than an hour before the 7pm start.
They also put on a marvellous post match buffet, free of charge, meaning the £50 raised from a raffle will be donated to charity.
League secretary Malcolm Fletcher said a sincere thank you to Bridgnorth at the October executive meeting – when he revealed that the early front runners to host the 2023 challenge match are . . . Trench
