26 Norfolk Over 60s defeat White Rose League
North Yorkshire’s White Rose Summer League visited Norfolk for
a weekend of bowls at Hingham Sports & Social Club where they
were given a warm welcome by Norfolk Over 60s Squad. The
match between the two sides on Saturday saw Norfolk Over 60s
storm to a decisive 72-28 win on points, 564-366 on shots, as the
visitors struggled on the fast Verde mats at Norfolk’s new county
venue.
Norfolk dominated in the pairs games collecting 31 of the
40 points up for grabs. Jenny Walker & Mike Boswell, Kerry
Greenacre & Selwyn Goldsmith and Doreen Stearman & Ty Musk
all won four games out of five each while Pauline Wilson & Jock
Pollock scored three wins and a draw.
In the triples Mally Woodhouse of Anglian Windows, Gra-
ham Tweed of Hingham & John Jarvis of Thorpe Marriott were in
great form winning all their games by 19-6, 11-4, 20-4, 11-10 &
10-6. Reg Wilson, Shirley Brown & Joe Brown scored eight points
out of ten as the triples collected 41 points against the Yorkshire’s
triples total of 19.
After the game Arthur Jackson, organiser of the White Rose
Popular North Yorks star League team, presented Norfolk Over 60s organiser Teresa Gold-
Arthur Jackson presents smith with a shield that will be played for on an annual basis. On
Teresa Goldsmith with Sunday a Friendship Triples event was held with each triple con-
the Shield taining either two Norfolk players and one White Rose bowler or
two White Rose and one Norfolk. The winners were Alan Meek,
Margaret Manfield and Mike Boswell with Moira Stevens, Maureen Munford & Keith Hughes in
second place. Norfolk Over 60s will pay a return visit to North Yorkshire next year where the White
Rose League will no doubt be determined to win back the shield.
