On 8 and 9 November 2025 a relatively inexperienced Wiltshire team consisting of Roger Karn, Stuart Bridge, Graham Hodges, Phil Green, Phil Howard, Susie Gall, Trevor Purchas, Garry Towns, Evelyne Thomas, Lucy and Chaz Cross, Ian Roach and Richard Freeman, competed in the Tollemache Cup qualifying event, which took place on Realbridge. Wiltshire won 4 matches - against Leicestershire, Essex, Herefordshire and Hertfordshire - and several other matches were very close. Although Wiltshire finished in next to last place in the Red section - the team were only a few VPs from mid-table. Hopefully, this bodes well for the future.
