Tues 1st July, Moira
Shrewsbury visited Ashby for a second-round Longman Cup match played on very fast, dry and challenging lawns. Most of the games were close, with 5 of the 7 being decided by a margin of 4 points or fewer. Just one of the games finished within the 3 hour 15 min time limit.
Ashby won the match 5-2, a reversal of the result when the teams met in the 2023 Longman Cup at Shrewsbury.
