County Trials

26^th October 2012

Local players dominated the Warwickshire Junior trials held at Rugby last weekend.  Rugby’s Jesse Kendrick-Hill was the clear winner of the under 18 boys with only Colebridge’s Amit Ubhi taking him to 4. Aaron Riley of Potters Green finished 4^th, Rugby’s Niall Herbert and Anshul Satsangi 5^th and 6^th And Free Church’s Solomon Hayes 8^th.

The under 15 boys also had a clear winner in Church’s Timmy Cooper who did not drop a game. Eathorpe’s George Allison finished second with Church’s Lee Dorning 3^rd. Other top 10 finishers: Adam Cofler/ Sam Weaving (both Free Church) joint 5^th, Tom Harris/Kit Turner (Church) joint 9^th

Adam Cofler was the emphatic winner of the under 13 boys but there was very little between those just behind with virtually every match going the distance. Jack Green grabbed 2^nd, Lewis Singleton 4^th, Tom Fletcher 5^th and Oscar Dalrymple 6^th (all Free Church)

The girls had just one (U18) category with Holly Thompson winning all her matches, though Rugby’s young duo of Emma Kilpatrick (2^nd) and Milly Bradshaw (3^rd) made her work for her wins. Church’s Olivia Fletcher finished 4^th.
