Results of County matches

Here’s a brief report on today’s County matches, at the Turner Hall in Newmarket.   Suffolk teams had a mixed day.

The First Team lost 7½-8½ to Bedfordshire in the morning, but playing the same opponents with the opposite colour, managed to win 9½-6½ in the afternoon.

The Under 160s beat Hertfordshire 10½-5½ in the morning, but lost by the same score to Cambridgeshire in the afternoon.   Both Cambridgeshire and Suffolk have qualified for the national rounds.

Of the 32 Suffolk players, the only one to win both games was Alan Merry, who beat Steve Ledger twice.   The first of these games included a nice finish, which will feature in tomorrow’s posting, along with league tables and individual scores.
