28 bers to have a go at the sport. The rest, as they say, is history. Steve Borley of Anglian
Windows was the first Norfolk player to be selected for England.
Several other players who made a name for themselves at Anglian Windows repre-
sented their country at one time or another among them Steve Bridge, Carol Aggas, John Aggas,
Mick Murrell & Melvin Woods. Their current captain Mike Boswell is a Norfolk County Team bowler
and currently captains the Norfolk “A” Team. On an emotional night like this the result somehow
seemed less important than usual but it was to prove no fairytale end to the evening for Anglian
Windows. Visitors Kirby Bedon ran out 8-0 winners with Carol Aggas, Phil Watson & John Aggas
winning their games by 16-11 & 21-11 while Shirley Brown, Gerald Chilvers & Joe Brown won by
16-11 & 20-13.
