We wish them well with training and look forward to cheering them on in London on 22 April 2018

Update…

VMLM have moved the goalposts for this year and as a result, we have only been allocated 2 club places. These will be awarded to Mark Banham and Daniel Clark as the winners from Pots 1 and 2. Rachel Palmer will be promoted to Pot 1 next year. We apologise for this and have decided that next year we will defer the draw until the places have been allocated to the club, rather than just working from the published figures.
