Congratulations to Joshua Furniss (Rowditch BC) who wins the Derbyshire Junior Merit at Hazelwood BC. In a great day for the Furniss household, he held off his brother Louie in the final with a 21-16 victory. Both of them now go forward to the All Britain Junior Individual Merit Final which is to be held at Netherseal BC on Saturday 18th August. There was more local success in the Supplementary Merit competition with Jack Desmond (Alvaston & Boulton) beating Aiden Richardson (Derby Co-op) 21-19 in the final. Josh can be seen receiving his trophy from County secretary Glynn Holmes.
Keith Widdowson defeated Adam Dickerson 21-18 to lift the Charity Cup at Allestree on a sweltering Bank Holiday Monday.
