Warwickshire matches
The men’s section played a decisive and exciting game against Southam recently to reach the quarter finals of the Wardrop Cup but were beaten by visitors from Sherwood Park this week. The Ladies, playing one less round, also made it to the quarter finals of the Top Club competition earlier in the season. Well done to both for fielding such a strong team.
