Thorpe Marriott entertained Halvergate in the second round of the Norwich Cup and by the interval things were looking good for the home side as they led 6-2 on points. Richard Perkins, Trevor Pinchen & Kath Frost had opened with a 7-3 win against Robin Amos while Mandy Marshall, Ted Redwood & John Jarvis had beaten Robbie Lamb’s triple 8-4. Janet Pinchen & George Clarke continued the good work with a 7-6 pairs win against Jackie Smith & Keith Cooke before Donna & David Lamb finally got some points on the board for Halvergate beating Sylvia & Tony Turner 11-4. Obviously stung by their lack of success in the first half Halvergate’s triples returned to the fray with renewed vigour knowing that a repeat of their previous results would mean an early bath. Gary High, Steven Lamb & Robin Amos turned up the heat against John Jarvis and were rewarded with an 11-3 win while Eve Sole, Ray Lamb & Robbie Lamb won 10-5 against Kath Frost’s triple. This left the match level on points at 6-6 with just the second pairs session to play but Halvergate now held an eleven shot lead which would be vital if the last session was shared. Donna & David Lamb picked up where they left off in their previous outing as they swept Janet Pinchen & George Clarke aside winning 10-2. Jackie Smith & Keith Cooke were involved in their second close game of the tie but this time emerged with a 7-7 draw to see Halvergate over the line with a 9-7 points win and safely into the next round.
