Bedfordshire win the Fleming Trophy

Bedford club players made up over a third of the county team that beat Buckinghamshire. Steve Ledger’s game is attached below. Kevin Williamson comments:-

“In the end it was a convincing result, but I gather a lot of the games were very close. I was too preoccupied in trying to save a dodgy position to see much of the other games.

It was particularly pleasing to see all our junior players get results, with special mention to Daniella (out-rated by over 500 points!) who may be the youngest player to ever represent Bedfordshire…”
