19 July 2023 County Finals Weekend
We were treated to some
excellent bowling over the two day. Thank you to those who came to support the
teams on the day.
Saturday saw the semi
final of the Singles where Suzanne King of Norfolk B.C defeated Anne Tickner of
Acle 21-15 and Rebecca Willgress of Norfolk B.C defeated Claire Turner of
County Arts 21-13.
The semi finals of the pairs
were played along with the final. In the first semi final Suzanne King and
Jackie Devitt defeated Jill Carr and Kay Carrick 27-11, both Norfolk B.C. In the other semi final Rosemary Thompson
and Sue Ball of Gorleston defeated Pauline Wright and Dot Evans of Downham
Market 21-10.
The final proved to be a
close game in extremely windy conditions which had prevailed all day making the
conditions very difficult for the players.
Suzanne and Jackie made an
excellent start but Rosemary and Sue fought back well needing to score several
shots on the final end. Excellent shots were played on this end. At the
conclusion of the game, Suzanne and Jackie were the eventual winners.
Sunday began with less windy
conditions than the previous day, with the final of the singles. Suzanne King
defeated Rebecca Willgress 21-16.
Congratulations to all who
attended the Junior singles competition. In the final of the event Connie Dowe
of Martham played Ellie Johnson of Norfolk B.C. It was a very closely contested
game of bowls which led to an exciting finish where Connie won the game with
her last bowl of the end. Both will represent Norfolk at the national finals in
August.
The triples final also took
place between Rebecca Willgress, Christine and Katherine Rednall of Norfolk B.C
and Claire Turner, Sandra Curtis and Christine Webb of County Arts. Once again
a closely fought contest played in excellent spirit, with the team from Norfolk
B.C being the eventual winners.

A much needed rest in the shade was had as Leicestershire and
Essex played on in the heat, resulting in a win for Leicestershire.
Once again, we emerged from the shade of the trees to play again
in the final. Everyone played well in two closely contested games. For three
quarters of the game neither team was ahead by many shots, after this Norfolk
scored a six on Katherine's rink and Jackie scored nine shots over the last few
ends which resulted in a win over Leicestershire by nine shots. A great
performance by the team which now goes forward to the National finals at
Leamington Spa.

throughout the week. A big thank you to Debra Wright who organised these games
on behalf of the County and to those clubs who hosted the touring team.

15 June 2023 Johns & Amy Rose
Last weekend saw Norfolk Ladies take on Bedfordshire Ladies at
Isleham Bowls Club in round two of the Johns Trophy. On a very hot day, the
game got off to an excellent start, winning the first end on five rinks. The
game continued in that way, the team growing in confidence and by the end we
had won on all rinks thus taking the twenty two points on offer for the game.
Well done to all. Thanks to the travelling reserves, Shannon Tucker and Sue
Moretta who attended the game, they are a very important part of the team
particularly in the hot
weather. Also, thanks to all the selectors and supporters who came
along, it was much appreciated by all the players. Thanks to Isleham Bowls Club
for their hospitality on the day.

Congratulations to Ellie Johnson who has been selected for an

part of the Junior Talent I.D day. Best wishes to them all.
Club Uniforms.
If your club is having or thinking of having new shirts, what
happens to the old ones? Do we just bin them? Do they go into landfill? After a
little research I found that they can be donated to the Lords Taverners, and
then send them oversees to youngsters who would welcome a team kit. Further
information is available on their website.
A big thank you to all who have volunteered to play in the tourist
games against Hertfordshire later
in the month. Debra has done a splendid job in raising a team for all three
games. We look forward to sunshine and warm weather. Will put the teams onto
the website once they are finalised.
