Ladies & Mens Herts County League Finals for South Division at Harpenden
The Ladies section entered two teams in the Herts County league this year with a view to expanding the breadth of experience at this level. Sharon, Di Berry, Jenny and Julie, together with reserve Janet, played in the league play offs ( having come second in the league) this morning in the semi finals against a strong Hatfield team. In a very close game we won, taking us through to the final.
The team then played in the afternoon against the winners of the other semi final, Welwyn and District, another very strong team, where sadly we lost after a good showing.
This was the Potters Bar2 team, the squad including the above ladies together with Penney, Carole, and Sue Powers. The win bodes very well for continued successes in the ladies section of Potters Bar BC in the future with two very capable squads of lady players.
