The Shrewsbury team took the top spot for the first time in 2023, last year they came a very creditable 2nd, but this year they went one better with a historic first place for Freddie Fielding (R2012-17) and second for George Mallett (S 2007-12).
Captain Ed Mallett (S. 2008-13) was third counter for The Team, with newest OSH Member, Harry Parker-McLain (I. 20-25) racing in to be fourth and then the rest of The Team put in excellent performances to ensure the winning team prize.
