ACADEMY FACING AWAY TRIP TO SHREWSBURY IN FIRST ROUND OF TROPHY

Worcestershire Academy will again be competing in the Birmingham Premier Cricket League Graham Williamson Trophy this summer.

They have been drawn away to Shrewsbury in the first round of the 50 overs a side tournament which is to be played on Saturday, April 13 (12.30pm start).

If the Academy are successful in that fixture, they will face another trip in the second round to face the winners of the Ombersley-Walsall encounter.

But unlike previous seasons, there is no plate competition for first round losers in 2019.
