Despite a 20 points to 2 win against Northamptonshire today. The 2026 campaign in the Middleton Cup has come to an end.

A 1 shot win and 16 points to 6 victory for Bucks today against Hunts means Bucks qualify to the next stage.

The MC match v Hunts on Saturday has therefore been cancelled as neither team can qualify.

Hertfordshire Bowls would like to extend our thanks to Team manager Neil, the match officers Past Presidents Graham and Phil for their support and to the host club Hatfield BC its club members and volunteers for their support in 2026. Last but not least the players from around the clubs around the county.

We wish Bucks every success as they progress in the competition.
