Last night was the County Presentation Night held at Seend Community Centre..
The night started off with the usual killer skittles, which went down well. A lovely buffet was supplied by Rusty's. Which equally went down extremely well!
Thank you to Colin for organising the event again this year, a lot of hard work goes into this to make it run so smoothly.
A few photos attached of those collecting their awards.

Last week Wiltshire played our 1st Summer friendly of the year, venturing to Wedmoor to play Somerset. We took 5 players with us to play in their1st County match. Somerset also had 4 players making their debut. It was great to see how well they all played and good to see both teams developing their squads. Wiltshire went out fighting winning the 1st round 10 points to 2. Somerset weren't going to let us have it all our own way though winning the 2nd round 10 point to 2 making the scores equal at mid day. Wiltshire took the 3rd round and half the points in the last round making the final score 28 points to Wiltshire and 20 to Somerset.
Today we played our home match against a strong side from Hampshire. A further 3 players from Wiltshire and a few from Hampshire playing in their 1st County Match.
Some very close matches and a few big wins on both teams making the scores very interesting. Wiltshire had 13 points at mid day and Hampshire 11. Wiltshire came out strong after lunch winning 5 of of 6 games. Hampshire however were not going to go down without a fight and won 4 games in the last round. Despite this Wiltshire did enough with 2 wins to win the match. Final scores were 27 points to Wiltshire and 21 to Hampshire.

2 great wins and we look forward to the return matches next month. We'll done to everyone who took part.
