Yorkshire - Premier A Champions

The Yorkshire 1st team have won Premier A again following 3 weekends in which they have played all the other top 9 counties

Congratulations to the Under 17 ICT team for their excellent performance in this year's competition.

Many thanks to team manager John Foster very ably supported by Sue Foster and Kevin Baker
