3rd Aughton St Michael's 8 ( winner on tie break over)

A hard-fought event, where Bolton played very consistently throughout and deserved to win.

These results close a highly successful event. Thank you to the ECF Schools team for managing the differing sections so expertly and sincere thanks must go to the sponsors, without whom none of this would have been possible.

We conclude with the further good news that all three existing sponsors have renewed for next year.
