27 August 2012 Middleton Cup Semi final & final report plus other
news
Norfolk
were crowned National County champions on Saturday when they won the coveted
Middleton Cup by beating Wiltshire in the final at Beach House Park Worthing by
118 – 114. Earlier in the day they had reached the final by defeating the
defending champions Devon 122-118. This was revenge for Norfolk who were beaten by Devon at the same stage last year.
Norfolk
started well in the semi final against Devon and gradually built a lead into
double figures with Wayne Willgress’s rink covering
Mark Turner’s rink who were having a torrid time. As
Devon hit back over the closing ends to reduce the deficit to single figures
but Norfolk held firm to win and to progress to the final.
For
the final Manager Brian Taylor made changes to Mark Turner’s rink by bringing
in Chris Willgress and make other positional changes. Their opponents
Wiltshire, who had overcome Leicestershire in the other semi final, began the
final in strong fashion to open a 10 shot lead at 5 ends, but Norfolk did not
let the deficit to build and gradually overcame this to move into a narrow lead
at the 15 end stage. The lead then fluctuated over the closing ends and in a
tense and exciting finish last end scores by the rinks skipped by Darren
Rowsell, Chris Willgress, Peter Boldero & Mervyn King gave Norfolk a
cushion of six shots for Philip Barr playing the last end of the match which
was successfully defended to give Norfolk the title, for the fifth time the
last being in 2006.
After
the match Team Manager Brian Taylor said “Going into the semi final we knew we
would have a hard match against Devon who won the title last year and have been
the dominant county in recent years. We made solid start and as Devon hit back
we held our nerve and played some big bowls to win. In the final Wiltshire were
a bit of an unknown quantity and although they took an early lead we did not
let this build. The last few ends were a bit tense but as in the semi final we
played some big shots to get the win. I’d like to pay tribute to the whole
squad but would mention Wayne Willgress in particular who overcame the
disappointment of losing the Singles final the day before to be one of the star
performers in both the semi and the final”.

The
Men’s National Championships preceded the Middleton Cup final.
Norfolk
Bowling Club’s Wayne Willgress came agonisingly close to taking the National
Singles title losing 21-20 in the final to Tom Bishop of the Atherley Bowling Club in Southampton. Willgress was in fine
form through the early rounds and brought this form into the final and looked
on course to take the title when heavy rain forced a temporary suspension of
play. However on the restart the
momentum of the match switched and in a tense finish with the scores tied at 20
all, Bishop scored the deciding shot, on a measure, to take the title
Norfolk’s
junior bowlers had qualified for the final stages of the White Rose Trophy and
following good wins over Hampshire and Northamptonshire, Norfolk beat Yorkshire
by a single shot to reach the final where they met Devon who proved too strong
to take the title by 40 shots to 35.
The
last of the County finals, for the Hansell’s Cup, takes place on Saturday at
Wymondham Dell. In the morning semi finals Lakeside play Upwell whilst Shipdham take on Bradwell with the winners meeting in the
final in the afternoon.

completed their Eastern Counties League programme with a fine victory in an
East Anglian derby against Suffolk at the RG Carter
club by 143 shots to 99 taking 17 of the 22 points at stake.
Defeats
in the previous two matches meant Norfolk’s chances of taking the League title
had already gone but the results from the league matches this season, where

29 July 2012 Latest News including
today’s County Championships & Eastern Counties League result
The remaining County Championship
finals have been held at Norfolk BC with George Tubby and Andy Siely of Acle St
Edmunds BC and Wayne Willgress of Norfolk BC all achieving double success.
In the Triples the Norfolk BC trio
of Charles West, Chris Willgress and Wayne Willgress took the Triples crown by
beating Justin Hudson, Ian Whiley and Mervyn Chapman of Wootton Park by 19-14.
A count of six shots on the third end proved significant with Wootton always
chasing the game from this point. Norfolk BC were able
to maintain the lead they built up to take the title, a title they last won in
2009. They were also victorious in 2007 when they went on to take the National
title.
After the disappointment in losing
both the Singles and Pairs finals last week Wayne Willgress added the inaugural
Two Wood Singles title to the Triples when he played Peter Wilkinson of County
Arts. In a high quality encounter Willgress took an early lead only for Wilkinson
to hit back to level the scores at 13 a piece at 18 ends. As he had done in
earlier rounds Willgress was dominant over the closing ends going on to win
17-13.
In the Under 25 singles, 16 year old
Josh Baxter of Caister was up against Junior England International Sam King of
Hunstanton EBA. King’s greater experience at this level proved to be decisive
and although Baxter battled bravely it was King who took the title 21-8.
George Tubby and Andy Siely of Acle
who took the Singles and Pairs titles respectively last week won the Fours
along with team mates Daniel Seabourne and Simon Elliott. In the final they met
Justin Hudson, Simon Peach, Mervyn Chapman and Ian Whiley of Wootton Park.
After Wootton Park's disappointment in losing the Triples earlier in the day,
Acle proved too strong and when leading 22-7 after 16 ends the match was
conceded.

to Bedfordshire at Maulden BC winning on only one rink and taking just 2 of the
22 points at stake.

to the match the lead they had built up was steadily eroded and Bedfordshire

Middleton Cup
George
Tubby of Acle St Edmunds is the new county Singles champion, the second time he
has won the title. In the final he beat Wayne Willgress of Norfolk BC 21-10.
Tubby bowling superbly took an early lead but when leading 12-8 Willgress
converted a four shot deficit into two shots to be only two shots behind and at
that stage it looked like Willgress would take control but Tubby maintained his
form and conceded no more shots to go on & take the title.
In
the semi finals played earlier in the week Tubby beat England International
Mervyn King equally convincingly by the same score whilst Willgress had a comfortable
21-11 victory over Acle’s John Colcombe.
There
was double disappointment for Willgress where in the final of the Pairs, along
with John Tufts he lost to the Acle pairing of John Colcombe & Andy Siely.
An early count of five shots put the Acle duo in control and a score of six
shots on the 17th end put them firmly ahead. The match was conceded
on the 18th end with Acle leading 24-11
In
the other semi finals played at Swaffham Town, Peter Wilkinson of County Arts
reached his first County finals by beating Karol Mikulik of the GW Staniforth
club 16-7 with the match being conceded at 18 ends. In the final he will meet
Wayne Willgress.

the Under 25 Singles, Sam King, went one further that father Mervyn by beating
David Smith of Freethorpe. It was Smith who made the better start by taking a
9-3 lead. Junior International then King then hit back to lead 16-12 but Smith
rallied to be only 19-18 behind. King then scored singles over the next two
ends to win 21-18.

The
final of the Lord Fermoy Cup to be held on Thursday (on a home & away
basis) will be between Freethorpe and Hunstanton EBA.
In
the semi finals Freethorpe, having beaten Premier League teams Wymondham Dell
and Acle St Edmunds in earlier rounds, continued their giant killing by beating
favourites Norfolk BC 37-35. The other semi final between Hunstanton EBA and
Swaffham Town was decided on an extra end after the match was tied 40 shots all
after 21 ends. It was Hunstanton who won this end to reach the final.
Norfolk
reached the semi final of the Middleton Cup on Saturday when they beat
Derbyshire by 116-111 at the Goodwood Bowls Club in
Leicester. In the semi final at Worthing in August they will meet the winners
of the delayed quarter final tie between Oxfordshire and defending champions
Devon.
The
match against Derbyshire was a tight affair in the early stages but Norfolk took
control over the middle period to establish a 20 plus shots lead. Derbyshire
then hit back strongly to reduce the deficit to single figures over the closing
ends but Norfolk’s bowlers held their nerve and their greater experience saw
them through to victory.
There
were good wins for the rinks skipped by Peter Boldero and Philip Barr and these
were backed by a win for Darren Rowsell’s rink that
included the recalled Justin Hudson from Wootton Park.
After
the match manager Brian Taylor said “the match was as hard as I expected. Half
way through we looked to be heading for a comfortable win but credit to
Derbyshire for they way they hit back. Derbyshire had a chance going into the
last end but I felt we deserved to win and it could probably have been a little
more comfortable than it actually was. We are all delighted to be back at
Worthing again where we will be hoping to go further than we did last year. It
looks like we may be playing Devon again though they still have to get through
the quarter final and if they do then we will be looking for revenge following
our defeat to them last year”

08 July 2012 Middleton Cup Report –v- Bedfordshire + other news
Norfolk
qualified for the quarter finals of the Middleton Cup in exciting fashion at
Maulden Bowls Club on Saturday.
Going
into their match against Bedfordshire in second place in the table behind
Huntingdonshire they knew that only a convincing victory along with a defeat
for Huntingdonshire at Essex would give them any chance of winning the group
and thereby qualifying.
The
Norfolk/Bedfordshire match was a tight affair from the outset with all six
rinks being evenly contested. As the match moved into its final stages news
filtered through that Essex were beating Huntingdonshire and if the scores
remained as they were then Norfolk would probably need to win the match with
four winning rinks to qualify.
With
Wayne Willgress’s rink winning 23-9, the overall
match result looked in the bag but with Mark Turner’s and Peter Boldero’s rinks suffering agonising last end defeats it
came down the other three rinks still playing to the get rink wins required.
Philip
Barr’s rink duly obliged with a 2 shot victory and then Darren Rowsell facing a
2 shot deficit on the last end, removed the Bedfordshire shot bowl to score six
shots to secure his rink’s win. Finally it was left to Mervyn King to see
Norfolk home by securing his rink’s win with his final bowl of the match.
In
the quarter finals to be played on Saturday 21st July Norfolk are likely
to meet Derbyshire at the neutral venue of the Goodwood
club in Leicester.
After
the match Manager Brian Taylor said “We knew coming into this match that we
still had a chance of reaching the quarter finals but needed a good result here
and for the result in the other match to go our way. Once we were aware of the
situation in the other match we knew what we needed to do and our boys played
some great bowls over the last few ends to get us through”

24 June 2012 Latest news including Balcomb Trophy report
Norfolk bowed out of the National Inter-County Two
Fours in the regional semi finals where they were comfortably beaten by
Hertfordshire by 49 shots to 28. In a slow start Norfolk fell behind a lead
which Hertfordshire had extended to 19 shots at the 10 end stage. A break for
heavy rain for some 90 minutes gave Norfolk a chance to re-group but upon the
resumption of play and in tricky conditions Norfolk could make little progress
and Hertfordshire ran out deserved winners to progress to the regional final.
