                                              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

                                              Pollock scored three wins and a draw.

                                              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

                     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
