Saturday saw the Singles & Fours being played With Daniel Agar taking the winner’s trophy. When it came to the presentations for the Fours, Dan was again in the medals. Substituting for Jill Newsome, he was in the runners up position in the Fours with team mates, Joe Newsome, Connor Walton and James Clark.
Two good results that kept the NY flag flying.
Sunday, alas was a dry day for North Yorkshire, with the Pairs and Triples teams unable to get into the trophies. At the moment, I can’t tell you how all our teams faired, but once we receive the results, I’ll edit them into the report and notify you all on the Facebook page that they’ve been added.
