Boys
Ben, Ryan and Matthew played for Rotherham and came away in 5th place. All the groups were tough and to proceed to the medal rounds the team needed a group top place, with the crunch match being against Watford and unfortunately this was the first match of the day. Watford held on for a 4-3 victory in a very tight match. Next up was Newton Abbott with Rotherham controlling the game to take an 8-4 victory. This placed Rotherham in the 5th – 8th pace play-off. First match against Cheltenham was a comfortable victory for Rotherham 7-5. This lead to the final match of the day against Nova Centurions with Rotherham falling short with a 8-10 loss.
