National Team (Nov 2007) Warley lose against Caledonia & Invicta and hence slip from 1st to 3rd in the final tournament of the season. Needing a win against Caledonia to ensure 1st place, Warley were well placed throughout the game. However, 12 majors against Warley and only one against Caledonia proved too much and Warley lost 12 - 10. A good win against South Derbyshire was their only consolation. See latest results and Tables.
