First Play For New Shield

A capacity number of fours played off for the new inter-club trophy, the Stan McKenzie Shield. The shield is in honour of the late Mr Stan McKenzie, who was an outstanding bowler. It is open to leads and twos only, thus filling in a gap in a rather neglected area of inter-club competition.
