Monkstone Members Qualify for Wales

We are pleased to report that, following the two qualifiers held over the weekend, eight Monkstone players have qualified to represent Wales at the Home Nations in Scotland, as follows:

Wales 2: Tony and Nai (with Jean-Yves Robic)
Wales 6: Rose and Vickie (with Julie Bailey and Gay Evans)
Wales 8: Bernard, Mike Jones, Peredur and Roger.

Congratulations to Vickie for gaining her Welsh shirt.

Only nine teams entered the qualifiers and therefore the chances of qualifying were much better than previous years. However, Roger’s team still decided to leave it to the very last game to secure a place in the top eight. But, as a Man Utd supporter, Bernard is used to seeing goals scored in the dying moments of extra time.
