Congresbury men were beaten by St Andrews in their quest to retain the Wedmore Plate recently.

Congresbury had booked their place in the final after some very good wins against West Backwell, Bristol St Annes, Portishead RBL and Weston Bath along the way. 

In the final at Taunton Vivary, in fantastic conditions, St Andrews were stronger than Congresbury on the day, the final result being Congresbury 59 Weston St Andrews 75.

Congresbury finished the Somerset County League with their A Team just loosing one game at home all year and finished in fifth place in Prem 2, while their B team had a more successful season than last year and finished fourth in North 2.

The season is not yet over for Congresbury who have few players in the Somerset County Finals day.

Lucas in the Men's Beginners semi-final and Helen, Lucas and Brain in inaugural mixed triples semi-final on the same day.

The men still have a chance to end the season with silverware as they are in the Clarence Davey Inter-Club Championship Final, playing Olveston & District on September 16.
