ECC 17-20 Report
What a weekend for Avon! Firstly I had the pleasure of managing and coaching the 17-20 squad in York! They were all such a good/ fun and interesting team!
I really enjoyed every minute and even learned how to play cards!! Although Aidan Gibbons and Oscar Haywood may not agree that I actually learned!! But at least I wasn't as bad as Alex R!! 🙈
Thanks, Fiach 'Irish' O'Rourke for all the organising that went into it beforehand that was purely down to you!
12th place was a good result and a couple of matches could have gone either way.!
Our PLAYER'S PLAYERS of the weekend goes to Alex Robinson and Abby Radcliffe. 🏸🥇🥈👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
But well done all of you, you all played so well.
