Mid Glam 11 - West Glam 3 - Preseason friendly clash

A big thank you to West Glam for bringing a team to play last night, it was a great match, with nearly a full set of games played. In the end Mid Glam eased ahead with a score of 11 games to 3, the second ladies reversed was not played due to lack of time.

Missing from the West Glam side were Jo and James, although James has now I believe moved to Avon - Mid Glam wish him all the best in his new county and hope to see him on the circuit.
