Inter Counties Championship

Avon was without three of its strongest players in the Inter Counties Championship played at Eastbourne last weekend.  They finished third from the bottom of the first division despite winning five matches out of ten, and will be demoted to the second division next year.  With KRISS CHAMBERS away at university, the only Nailsea player available this year was ALEX LEGGATE.  JAMES DIXON played for Hertfordshire who came fourth in the second division, just missing out on a promotion place.
