Bucks U10 Boys Team became overall runners-up despite overnight sickness of our No 1 boy Barney Smith on day 2, and then withdrawal through back injury of our No 2 Michael Shaw in the Final.
In the Final we only had Jake Williams and Nouman Aslam playing but they put up a strong front and played well although lost to Hertfordshire 3-0.
Well done boys; Barney Smith, Michael Shaw, Jake Williams and Nouman Aslam. Special thanks to Jake who stayed to the end (the only Bucks player from all 6 teams remaining at the presentation, despite even his parents having to leave, he got a lift home with a Herts player!)
