Norfolk bowed out of the Balcomb
Trophy to Essex in disappointing fashion in the regional semi final played St
Neots BC. Having taken an early lead on both rinks, the outcome of the match
was ultimately decided on the rink skipped by Wayne Willgress. Having taken a
10 shot lead the Essex combination skipped by England International Steve
Mitchinson hit back strongly to overcome this deficit and a last end 6 shots
for the Essex rink proved too much for the other Norfolk rink skipped by Peter
Boldero to recover and Norfolk went down by 5 shots despite Bolderos rink
getting home by 5 shots.

18 June 2013 Victory in Middleton Cup against Northants
but defeat in White Rose Trophy
Norfolk are still on course to
defend their Middleton Cup title following victory over Northamptonshire at
Kingsthorpe BC on Saturday by 117 shots to 113. Norfolk won on three rinks to take
16 of the 22 points at stake. With Huntingdonshire beating Bedfordshire and
taking 21 points in the other group match, qualification from the group to the
quarter finals is set for a thrilling finale when the final matches are played
on 6th July. In these matches Norfolk entertain Bedfordshire at
Norfolk BC whilst Northamptonshire play Huntingdon at Kingsthorpe. Currently
Norfolk top the group on 30 points followed by Huntingdonshire on 29 and
Northamptonshire on 28.
At Kingsthorpe on Saturday Norfolk
knew that a win was imperative and opened the match on dominant fashion to open
up an early lead. The expected Northamptonshire recovery came and they moved
into the lead going into the closing stages but Norfolk hit back to snatch the
lead to win by a narrow margin. Once again the rink skipped by Downham Markets
Peter Boldero were the star performers winning by 12 shots with other rink wins
coming from those skipped by Philip Barr
& Wayne Willgress.
Team Manager Brian Taylor said after
the match We put in an excellent performance across the green & I thought
we fully deserved our victory. We now top the group but its very tight but
will not underestimate Bedfordshire in our last match and if we perform as we
have done theres no reason why we should not reach the quarter finals again

10 June 2013 Win in Balcomb Trophy + Middleton Cup
selection & other news
On Saturday Norfolk travel to
Kingsthorpe BC to play Northamptonshire in their second group match in the
Middleton Cup. With both sides having won their opening matches it is likely
that this match will decide group honours and a place in the quarter finals.
However a big win in for
Huntingdonshire in the other group match against Bedfordshire could put them in
the running. For Norfolk though it really is a must win match and with Mervyn
King have declared himself unavailable the Norfolk side shows some changes from
their last outing with both Darren Rowsell and Philip Barr back in the team.

fought victory over Hertfordshire at the Rosedale BC in Cheshunt. Norfolk made

from this and by winning the closing 6 ends by 18 shots against 3 ran out

Norfolk secured their second successive victory by beating Essex 120-109 at the
County Arts club taking 17 of the 22 points at stake. The win puts Norfolk
second in the table with 2 wins out of 2 behind leaders Hertfordshire who have
won all their four matches.
02 June 2013 Victory in opening Middleton Cup plus Balcomb
Trophy selection
Norfolk opened their defence of the Middleton
Cup with victory over Huntingdonshire at the Parkway BC in Peterborough on
Saturday. The county won by 119-111 taking 14 of the 22 points at stake. In the
other group game Northamptonshire overwhelmed Bedfordshire by 130 to 94 taking
all 22 points.
In their next game on 15th
June Norfolk travel to Northamptonshire in what looks like a winner takes all
for group honours and qualification for the quarter finals.
Norfolk travelled to Huntingdonshire
with a poor record on the Parkway green but started strongly opening up a 23
shot lead at the 5 end stage, a lead which they maintained over the middle
period of the match. Huntingdonshire hit back strongly over the closing stages
with a one stage the lead down to only 2 shots. However Norfolk held firm over
the closing ends to secure victory, thanks mainly to a dominant performance by
Peter Bolderos rink who returned a fine 30 shots to 11 winning score.
After the match Manager Brian Taylor
said In the past we have never done particularly well here but today we played
well across the green and deserved the victory. We play Northants next, who are
a bit of an unknown quantity to us but with their big win today we know it will
be a tough match but Im sure we have the players to go there and win

though its early in the season and there is nearly a month until we begin our
defence of the Middleton Cup the weekend gave a good opportunity to take a look

the winning results

Trophy last year, and with most of last years squad still eligible Norfolks
young bowlers hope to go one better this year and begin with a match against
Hertfordshire at Royston on 12th May. Team Manager Daniel Noble has
