Bob Carter’s Gary Best took maximum points in the singles winning his games 16-9 & 20-10 and Simon Warnes & Jon Sparham did likewise in the pairs.

Chris Mann added an 18-12 win against Callum Beale in the singles while Morgan Warnes & Jack Pye took three out of four points in the pairs. Norfolk “A” were up against Cambridgeshire in their match and will be absolutely delighted with a 29-11 points win after a drawn opening session.

Norfolk won all four rinks games with Jean Woods, Trish Taylor, Karl Newby & Terry Newby winning 14-4 & 12-6 and Jenny Walker, Elaine Oatway, Melvyn Barker & Peter Walker winning by 10-8 & 17-7. In the pairs Connaught’s Jack Marshall & Sheila Bragg won their opening game 22-7 and Graham Mobbs & Mike Boswell added a 17-14 win. Both Norfolk triples lost their opening games but bounced back with second half wins that also earned the two bonus points for shots, Janet Pinchen, David Blundell & Trevor Pinchen won 17-7 and substitute Teresa Goldsmith, Graham Tweed & John Jarvis won 17-11. All in all a fabulous day for Norfolk with just a double header away to Essex Premier & Essex “A” next Sunday to play to complete the group stage.
