Carruthers Shield - MBA Round 1
This week saw a break for the majority of the leagues with the beginning of the Carruthers shield campaign for 20 teams and 10 first round matches being played on a sundrenched day across the county.
Crosskeys continued on from their winning start in leagues with a comfortable win away at Panteg House whilst Caldicot travelled down the M4 to record a win at Whiteheads. Cwmbran Park overcame Rhymney Royal by 3 shots in a thrilling match, with the home team (Rhymney) leading for much of the match, only to be pipped on the final end of the match.
