Newly promoted Hunters 2’s season opener in the Coventry League 4 pitched them against Jubilee 3 away at St Augustine’s. Jubilee, themselves new to the division having dropped down since last season, fielded a strong team.

Hunters were always going to struggle on away ground, and still getting used to feathers. The team tried hard, taking a few games along the way, but couldn’t break through during the night, losing all 9 rubbers.

Not an ideal start, but good match practice ahead of some, hopefully, easier games.
