Casey and Hollie star for Hicks team at elite event

Hollie Brook celebrates her first place finish in Nottingham.

Stone won three medals and Brook surprised her own club by emphatically winning her section in her first attempt at this elite level of competition.

A club spokesperson said: “Casey fought hard and was our biggest point scorer and took her top-class opponents in the junior and senior ladies to the last second.

"And we said to Hollie, just try and test the waters for next year and get experience as there were no expectations.
