Breconshire come out on top in tight home fixture!
Gloucestershire were back for their first home game of the season, taking on Breconshire in the National League. There were a lot of changes to the team this season with plenty of new players, so it was good to get them out in front of a home crowd. Breconshire took the win 21–15, but the Men's games were a lot closer than the final score looks.
Saturday started with the Women's B, who lost 5–1 against a strong Breconshire side. Kirsty Jones got the only win with a 3–0 and took Lady of the Match with a 15.82 average. Sharon Mcnulty was unlucky to lose 3–2 in a decider.
The Men's B was much tighter, with Breconshire edging it 7–5. Steve Easton, Richard Bambridge and Nigel Vernall all won 4–3 and Matthew Metrovich won 4–0. Lee Bradley was Man of the Match with a 4–2 win and a 25.23 average.
On Sunday the Women's A got us going with a 4–2 win, the only section we took all weekend. Vicky Parmley was Lady of the Match, winning 3–0 with a 19.27 average. Jane Price also won 3–0 and Elaine Powell and Tammy Jones both won 3–1. Chloe Miles had the best average on the team with 19.35 but lost 3–2.
The Men's A finished the fixture and Breconshire took it 7–5. Pete Hughes was Man of the Match with a 4–2 win and a 28.69 average. Josh Lewis, Shaun Vernall and Darrel Williams all won 4–1 and Dene Baldwin won 4–3. Kieran Smith had the highest average of the weekend at 28.91 but lost 4–3.
Not the result we wanted, but a few positives to take from it with a new look team, especially the Women's A win and how close the Men's games were.
Also pictured are the match awards from this weekend, along with the awards from our away game against Bedfordshire a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations to all of the award winners from both fixtures and well done to everyone who has played their part so far this season.
Next up is Isle of Wight away on the 12th & 13th December.
