The 2022 BCG Ladies Junior County Team Championship was played on the greens at Heaton Park, Greater Manchester, with Warwick & Worcester claiming the title.
After some late withdrawals, just seven teams took part in this year’s championship with the Isle of Man and Warwick & Worcester both entering two teams.
The seven teams were divided into two groups, one of four teams and one of three teams. All games were 15up and the standard of bowling was superb throughout.
Warwick & Worcester ‘A’, playing on green 2, were drawn in the three-team group and after beating Isle of Man ‘B’ by 16 they just got the better of North Lancs & Fylde by 4 chalks to top the group and a secure their place in the final.
Yorkshire, playing on green 1, after a tough opener with Cheshire, winning by 6 chalks, were rarely troubled by the Isle of Man ‘A’ and Warwick & Worcester ‘B’ as they booked their place in the final.
The final was played on both greens starting on green 2 where Warwick & Worcester opened up an 8 chalk advantage at the halfway stage thanks in the main to Ciaran Andews’ 15-7 card. The Midlanders dominated the remaining three games on green 1 with Ryan Hocknull matching Ciaran’s 15-7 card as his side finished with 26 chalks to spare.
BCG Ladies President, Sheila Whitely, made the presentation of the Trophy to Warwick & Worcester and vouchers to both teams.
