Turner’s return stuns Hevingham
Turner’s return stuns Hevingham
After months out of the sport following a serious operation John
Turner returned to defend his Bure League Triples Championship
title at Woodbastwick and amazed spectators as his East Tudden-
ham triple powered their
way to victory.
In the final East Tudden-
ham’s Chrissey Turner,
John Turner & Robin
Amos faced Hevingham’s Eddie Hayward, David
Sharpe & Maurice Kemp. The first end saw Amos’s
triple open with a four before adding a single on the sec-
ond end. It was not the start Kemp’s triple had hoped
for but they knuckled down and cut the deficit to just two
shots after four ends.
John Turner was not about to let Hevingham spoil
his comeback though and a three on the next end re-
stored their five shot lead. Kemp’s triple scored a single
on the penultimate end but Amos’s triple finished in style scoring five shots on the last end to
win 13-4. In the semi-finals Robin Amos beat Ken Dease, Keith Halford & Mike Boswell of An-
glian Windows 8-3 after trailing 3-0 after two ends. In the other semi-final Maurice Kemp put a
stop to any chance of an all East Tuddenham final when he beat Linda Chadwick, Les Chadwick
& Peter Smart 7-5.
