In the final the Kirby pair scored a single on the opening end but the Hevingham pair hit 15
back with a vengeance scoring a four on the second end. With the Kirby lead visibly strug-
gling with knee problems that have restricted her performances this season Hevingham
pulled away to lead 10-1 after four ends with both MacLean & Woods playing well. The Kirby
pair staged a mini comeback winning the next two ends to cut the deficit to 10-4 but conceded
with two ends remaining with the Kirby lead unable to continue.
BURE SINGLES
Two of the giant figures of Norfolk short mat bowls
over the last 25 years went head to head in the
Bure Singles Championship final at Horsford
SMBC. John Turner of East Tuddenham, without
doubt the most successful Norfolk player in the
history of the Association, was defending the title.
Vic Woods of Hevingham, six times a county
champion, was determined to take it off him.
Turner drew first blood with a single but the
Hevingham star they call “The Quiet Man” won the
next three ends to lead 4-1. Then Turner upped
his game scoring a three on the fifth end followed
Singles Champion John Turner by a single to lead 5-4. Woods replied with a single
with finalist Vic Woods to level the game but three more shots to Turner

over the next two ends left him defending an 8-5 lead going into the final end.
Despite Woods best efforts he could only score two shots and John Turner was the worthy
champion yet again by an 8-7 score-line. In the semi-finals John Turner played another former
England bowler, Margaret Harman of
WYGREEN MATS
Coltishall, and got off to a great start leading WYGREEN MATS
6-0 after two ends. Harman fought back
though but Turner held on to win 12-10. In
VERDE MATS
the other semi-final Vic Woods faced Kirby VERDE MATS
Bedon’s Joe Brown and a hard fought game
was level at 5-5 after seven ends before
Woods edged his way to an 8-6 win. IF YOU CAN BUY CHEAPER
