Scottish Wizards, North Wales Knights, CWBA and London Titans all ended Round 1 unbeaten as the 2019/20 Lord’s Taverners Junior League began. 

All four teams ended the opening weekend top of their respective Pool after winning both their Round 1 fixtures.

Wakefield Whirlwinds were victorious in the opening game of Pool A, beating Tees Valley Titans 36-52.

On Sunday, CWBA produced two dominant displays to beat South Wales Fletchlings and The Bears, 60-18 and 79-31, respectively.
