Balcomb Trophy

🙈
It's ok we can breath again.
That was far to close for comfort.

We won both the pairs & triples, but the fours lost heavily.
On the other side of the green, Devon were looking good for 8-0, so it was looking like shot difference would win it.

Thankfully Dorsets' four pulled out a win so the 4 points earned turned out to be enough.

4-4 39-47

Devon 6 Dorset 2 49-35

SOMERSET QUALIFY AGAIN!

Final standings:

1. SOMERSET: 16 145-129 +16
2. Devon: 14 138-128 +10
