Description

Playing at Hawcoat Park, the county put out a strong side and won nine of the 12 home games.

Unfortunately, although they triumphed by 53 chalks, it was not enough to gain the overall victory, with Staffordshire winning 431-377 because of their dominance in the away leg at Pennfields.

Jamie Boardman (Post Office) had a great 21-6 win in the home leg, followed by man-of-the-match Dan Edmonds (Roose Cons) 21-9, Adam Miller (Salthouse) 21-12 and Amy Harris (Roose Cons) 21-12.

This was the last of Cumbria’s group matches and special mention goes to four players who won all three matches – Zach Walker (Post Office), Connor Emanuel (Roose Cons), Jordan Satterthwaite (Glaxo) and Edmonds.

In the away leg, Cumbria played on a tricky green and, although they pushed their opponents hard, they won only one game, with Chloe Halhead triumphing 21-14.

Cumbria would like to thank Hawcoat Park for the use of their facilities, with special thanks to Derek Hurley, Dave Lee, Ann France and Maureen Radcliffe.
