The final matches of the Western League took place on Saturday 11th April. Unfortunately, Wiltshire were unable to field a team for the C division, so the C team were assigned a loss. Wiltshire A managed a draw against Cornwall A, while Wiltshire B won their final match beating Cornwall B 12-8. The top Wiltshire pair in the cross-imps were John Treble and Chris Jones who came 7th out of 50 pairs. For the full results and to see the hands, please click here.
