England win Home Internationals

by Sam Murray at Bowdon [^] -> bottom
10 Jun 2018 (International)

Nottingham club members Miranda Chapman (England), Ian Burridge (Wales) and Peter Moore (Ireland)

England won the Home Internationals at Bowdon, in fine Cheshire weather.

Some of the lower matches took a long time to resolve, with the dry weather exposing Bowdon's bumpy lawns. Only England completed their three tests, winning all of them.

Scotland's no.1, Jonathan Kirby, on a rare appearance, was the player of the tournament, not dropping a game.
