Leicestershire had requested two extra players at under 16 level, which meant we played seven foursomes matches and 14 singles instead of our usual format.

Michael Pell and George Allen started the foursomes for Warwickshire and were soon behind but, they battled back but never quite catching up until they found themselves 3 down with 4 to play, at which point they used their get out of jail card and won the game 1up.

Adam Lumley and George Butler took an early lead and although their opponents reduced that lead in the end they were comfortable winners 4 and 2.

Jake Clorley and Louie Pett also won 4 and 2. Chris Fisher and Kaljit Madahar combined impressively and ran out easy victors by 6 and 5. At this stage we were to have played our two extra under 16 players but, such is the strength on the under 14s we played two of them as under 16s.

Rhys Lawrence and Daniel Lane represented us in this capacity and did us proud winning 3 and 2. Tom Jones started the under 14s with Joel Palsar winning 3 and 2. Max Martin and Jamie Calvert lost 2 and 1 in the final foursomes match. This was Jamie,s first match for the county and he acquitted himself well but their opposition was just a little bit better.
