Mee is lying in the bronze medal position in the under-20 age group, while at this relatively early stage other medal contenders are Howes and Alex Montgomery in the M50 category.

At the other end of the age scale, Leamington’s under-11 boys turned out in force, with Tim Virr heading the team in an impressive ninth place, followed by Gregory West (23rd), Toby Loveday (26th), Oliver McSharry (35th), Ryan Caruana (39th) and Mitchell Williams (59th). Five of the six were making their first appearances for the club.
