Thank you to all the spectators who came to cheer the players on and thank you again to the great hospitality provided by members of Whitley and Monkseaton BC. I have received several messages of thanks from players and spectators about the hospitality given at our semi finals, which has been very kind of people and much appreciated.
So the stage is set for our women’s finals on 29th/30th July at Alnwick BC. The programme of events will be agreed as soon as the men have finished their semi finals!
