AC Home Internationals Hosted by Bowdon 9/10 June (Report by Sam Murray)
England won the Home Internationals at Bowdon, in fine Cheshire weather.
Some of the lower matches took a long time to resolve, with the dry weather exposing Bowdon’s bumpy lawns. Only England completed their three tests, winning all of them.
Scotland’s no.1, Jonathan Kirby, on a rare appearance, was the player of the tournament, not dropping a game.
