It's National Finals Week and Hertfordshire are well represented in all competitions.

First up, on Thursday is the National Singles with Michael West, Steve Hipperson and Tony Gayler in action. 

The National Pairs is on Friday in which Alan Hare will be making his Nationals debut alongside Pauline Taylor.

We have four teams in the National Fours on Saturday with several debutants including Dennis Paddison, Pamela Westrope, Marion Cooper and Roy Duke.

The National Finals conclude on Sunday with the Triples.  Val Thorogood will be playing with Audrey and Brian Fowler and will hope to build on the experience she gained in the National Mixed Fours.

You can follow the progress of your club and county colleagues as the action happens (well, slightly after the games finish) on the ESMBA website and we will be updating our own National Championships page each evening.

Best of luck to all competing at Melton Mowbray.
