Perfect hosts
Worcester ‘B’ team played host to the first round on the Nuneaton and District, and befitting of the new Perdiswell pool, the night proved to be a great event. Although Peshore led throughout the evening, Worcester’s ‘B’ team never let them take much of a lead and by the end of the night, there was very little to separate the two top teams.
