WORCESTERSHIRE Bowling Association Under 25 trial took place at Suffolk Square, Cheltenham.

This was to encourage the county youngsters to pit their bowling skills against a strong Gloucester side containing junior international trialists.

Worcestershire acquitted themselves to the pace of the Suffolk Square Green to run out worthy winners by four shots.

This was a rewarding result for team manager Bob Cox and his assistant Dean Hemming and the result of this trial will be announced shortly, prior to the National Double Rink Competition.
