INTER-COUNTY FINALS 2010/2011.
The finals were played at Lilleshall Sports Centre.
The team for the final was depleated due to a late withdrawal.
Team – SAM WARD, LUCY BEECROFT, JAYNE OSWALD and EMMA HALEY.
Despite starting one match down in the semi-final against Essex the 4 players came so very close to making it through to the final. Jayne Oswald scored a big upset victory beating Essex number 3 Hannah Jones 3-2 with the last game going to a tie break.
Emma Haley went down fighting at number 4 against Emma Page losing out 3-2. Sam Ward then scored a very close victory over higher ranked Sophie Lemon winning again in the 5th game. This left the deciding match between Lucy Beecroft and Anna Kimberley, Lucy started very well taking a 2-0 lead and it looked like an unlikely victory before the Essex girl fought back very impressively to take the last 3 games and the Match.

This left a 3/4 play-off against Gloucestershire. Partly due to being deflated about coming so close and partly through tiredness the team didn’t perform to the same level and lost 5-0 to a strong Gloucestershire team.
