Overall Result
This was the deciding match for the Channel League Championship and what a thriller it turned out to be, with an almost full strength Gloucestershire team against a very strong Glamorgan team, consisting of 3 internationals. The morning foursomes were a struggle for Gloucestershire who were quickly down in 4 of the 5 matches but late rallies kept the match alive. The afternoon singles were a similar affair, with Gloucestershire struggling early on, but our boys showed true grit and fought back well, leaving the result in the balance almost to the end. The real difference between the 2 teams showed on the greens. Although a disappointing end result, we should be very proud of this U18 squad and their commitment to the county. They have won 3 out of 4 matches, an achievement in itself.
