This picture was taken at a
practice session before the
Under 18 National Champi-
onships. Somerset had 21 en-
tries in total, the largest number in England this year and 4
places were given, in the group photo from left to right is
George Carter (Martock), Shaun Davis (Templecombe), Lewis
Bailey (Martock) and Daniel White (East Coker). It shows the
interest for Short mat Bowls and bodes well for the future of
our sport in Somerset and illustrates how lucky we are in com-
