Congratulations to the East Birmingham side winning this year Representative match by 24 overall.

At Hollyfields the last 4 S & W put up a great fight to pull back 30 shots but in the end it was not enough to steal a victory and the team lost away by 13 shots with 7 winners.

At KGV several of the East Birmingham team played exceptionally well and although our players put up a great fight we lost at home by 11 shots with 6 winners a piece.

Thanks to Terry Moss for managing the team and Mike Pritchard who capatained the away side. Also thanks to everyone who turned out to play for us this year and for the spirit in which the match was played.
