YOUNG WALES TRIUMPH OVER YOUNG ENGLAND

Wales played England in a full youth international short mat bowls match at the Bro Myrddin Bowls
Stadium in Carmarthen. Wales emerged as victors beating England 39-25. This was the eighth
Under 21's International and the sixth consecutive win for Wales. The Welsh team captain was
Mikey John of Carmarthen who was the only bowler to have played in every Youth International.
The Welsh team was made up of bowlers from across Wales including, Carmarthen, Swansea,
Pembroke, West Glamorgan, Cardigan, Montgomery and Brecon and Radnorshire.
The England Captain was Thomas Bright from Wiltshire. The England bowlers also came
from across the country including, Wiltshire, Devon, Dorset, East Sussex, Gloucestershire, Here-
fordshire, Humberside, Lancashire, Norfolk, North Yorkshire, Somerset, West Midlands, West Sus-
sex and Worcestershire.
The Welsh Team Manager Barry
Sambrook said it had been a fantas-
tic tournament, which highlighted
the young bowling talent in both
Wales and England.
The average age of the Welsh
team was only fifteen. The tourna-
ment also raised over £50 for Ty
Hafan Childrens Hospice. The
Welsh team were presented with
the Bill Jenkins Trophy.
