Out of the blue Samantha Theobold-Roe has just been invited to play for East Midlands U14s in Newark on Sunday in the same tournament Fern will be playing. This gives us a remarkly high hit-rate for county selection from our Beds-based players - ie. 100%!
In Samantha's case, though, she did not even have to attend trials. It seems word spreads and someone somewhere has spotted her, and when they found out where she played an invitation was quickly sent.
It also means that though our U14 section is small, nearly half of them will have played for their counties.
Overall it takes our county selections up to 12 - nine for Hertfordshire, two for East Midlands, and one for Eastern Counties. Plus several Herts Barbarians, including the captain.
