Staffordshire (last years winners of this competition) were the first match up for Warwickshire, with this being a 6 man team, Leeroy sat out this match so he could practice and get to know this quirky course, the top order of the team got the young bears off to a flying start, with Kamraan, Ollie and Byron winning there matches putting us 3 games up, Jake then unfortunately lost his match on the last hole as did Sam, this putting the score in the balance at 3-2 to Warwickshire, the last match out on the course was Charlie who battled to a convincing 4&2 victory
