Worcestershire u140 team 2015-6 season

After a gap of two years, Worcestershire returned to this competition under the captaincy of Paul Sharratt. It looked near the start of the season that the county would be unable to filed a team against Nottinghamshire, but their captain agreed to a postponement. A generous offer that Worcestershire took full advantage of by qualifying - just - for the national stages. There was no turning back and the team registered a heavy win against Kent followed by a further wins against Nottinghamshire away. A confident team then scored a win against Surry in the national final. An historic Worcestershire first for a first-time captain: it was Worcestershire's first ever national team championship win over the board.
