POWERHOUSE TRIO 14

WINS THE BURE
TRIPLES

Chrissie Turner, Robin Amos & John Turner of
East Tuddenham put on a classy performance
to win the Bure Triples Championship title at
Horsford BC. A riveting final saw them overcome
Hevingham’s Gill Bunn, Marjorie Hall & George
Clarke by 10-2 when they gradually wore down
their opponents after a tight opening three ends.
An attacking wood by George Clarke won
the first end for Hevingham and they looked like
John & Chrissie Turner and Robin Amos winning the second end as well until Hevingham
number two Marjorie Hall inadvertently hit their
own holding bowl to pop the jack back to a waiting Tuddenham wood.
Chrissie Turner & Robin Amos began to turn up the heat on the third end drawing woods
into the head leaving Hevingham skip George Clarke with little other option than to go on to
the attack with both his woods.
He will have been delighted to concede just one shot after slicing the jack with his second
bowl. The fourth end saw the first big breakthrough as Chrissie Turner opened with two good
woods and was aided and abetted by Robin Amos as he added two more, leaving Hevingham
in major trouble.
George Clarke again elected to attack with both his bowls but surprisingly hit the block
with both attempts and Turner’s triple moved 6-1 up. Another shot was added on the next end
after a perfect bowl by Amos again kept Tuddenham in the driving seat. The sixth end was
closely contested with good bowls from both triples ending with Hevingham winning a measure
to reduce the deficit to 7-2. On the penultimate end Clarke was again forced to go on the
attack but to little effect as Turner took two shots to lead 9-2 and seal victory.
Another single on the last end left Chrissie Turner, Robin Amos & John Turner celebrating
a comprehensive 10-2 victory. Turner’s triple reached the final by beating Coltishall’s Les Har-
man, Margaret Harman & Willie Jefferies 5-4 in the semi-finals following a 7-4 quarter-final
win against Anglian Windows’ Avril Walker, Diane Boswell & Mike Boswell. Clarke’s triple beat
Ken Dease, Maureen Dease & Keith Halford of Anglian Windows 6-4 in the semi-finals fol-
lowing a 9-8 win against Kirby Bedon’s Jan Hewitt, Teresa Goldsmith & Selwyn Goldsmith in
the quarters.
MACLEAN & WOODS

CLEAN UP IN THE BURE PAIRS
Ian MacLean & Vic “Quiet Man” Woods of Hevingham lifted
the Bure Pairs Championship title at Woodbastwick with an
accomplished performance against Kirby Bedon’s Teresa &
Selwyn Goldsmith. In the quarter-finals the Hevingham pair
defeated Mally Kemp & Keith Chapman of Horsford Heroes
by 8-7 while the Kirby pair defeated Alan Bunn & David
Sharpe of Hevingham by a 13-3 margin.
In the semi-finals East Tuddenham’s Gillian & Robin
Amos trailed MacLean & Woods by just one shot after five
ends but the Hevingham pair pulled away to win 10-6. In the
other semi-final the Goldsmith’s enjoyed another heavy win
beating David Knights & Simon Warnes of Horsford BC 12-3.
