County Astor Cup – Final 2024

County Astor Cup

The ASTOR is an NRA competition in which the chosen teams from every County compete at the Imperial Prize Meeting in July. Selection of those teams takes place in May in a series of County heats, and the Hertfordshire heat was held on Sunday 5th May.

County Astor Cup Heat – May 5th 2024

Due to a certain amount of apathy and lack of attention to County messages, only one team presented itself for the Herts Heat- Welwyn Phoenix. In this case the rules require the county to select a team of choice. Backed by County Captain Andy Barnes, WPRC were given the honour of representing the County for the ninth time.

Having been selected following the County Heat in May, WPRC represented Herts for the ninth time in the Astor County Championship final at Bisley on July 19th.
