I know it has been a few months since both Staffs “A” & “B” County Teams won the Nationals in Great Yarmouth but i thought i would post both team photos and also their results from the weekend.

This is how Staffs “A” won the National Title.

Match 1: Staffs (24) - V – Somerset (22) – Staffs “A” were 22 – 21 down in this match and it took a great finish by Rob Harding to get them to a 3 frame playoff.  Staffs “A” haven’t got a bad 3 players to pick from for the playoff, Gaz Potts, Lee Kendall and Adam Davis.  Both Gaz Potts and Adam Davis despatched their opponents to put Staffs in a great position of getting out of the group.

Match 2: Staffs (23) – V – Shropshire (12)

Semi Final: Staffs (23) – V – Leicestershire (19) – It has been a while since Staffs have played their old rivals of Leicstershire; however, it didn’t take them long to despatch them and move quickly into the final.

Final: Staffs Staffs (23) – V – Suffolk (15)

This is how Staffs “B” won the National Title.

Match 1: Staffs (23) – V – Cheshire (11) – Staffs “B” very quickly and easily despatched Cheshire in their first match of the campaign.

Match 2: Staffs (23) – V – Leicestershire (13) – Again Staffs “B” haven’t played against Leicester since the regions were altered a few seasons ago; however, Leicester were always our biggest threat in Region 3 so we went into the match thinking this was our biggest challenge of the weekend.  The score line doesn’t suggest they were a match for us but basically we took hold of the match very early on and didn’t look back.  We had great team spirit in this match!

Semi Final: Staffs (23) – V – Essex (12) – Things are going along just nicely at this stage.

Final: Staffs (23) – V – Bristol (17)
