Our final match in the 2025 County Championship is against Somerset, starting on 22nd July.

We are in pole position to win this year's title with our fate very much in our own hands going into this match. We currently lead the League with 6 wins from the 6 decided matches, including what looks like being a critical victory over second placed Kent.

We also have good leads in the two matches which have yet to be determined:

10-4 against Tayside Fife & Stirlingshire in a 10 board match

23.5-11.5 against Berkshire in a 29 board match

The Somerset match currently has 21 boards each with 5 days until the start. To avoid any nasty surprises at this final hurdle, it would be good to have a few more members signed up to play. If you would like to do so, you can join the match here:
