Wymondham retain Summer Cup after stunning comeback
Wymondham retained the Summer Cup after a classic final against Bob Carter at St Faiths
ended in a 6-2 points win for the team in red. It is the fourth time in the last five years that
Wymondham have tasted cup glory after previously beating Deaf Sports in 2014, Thorpe Marriott

Both teams opted to use just six players for the final with Jon Sparham, John Jeffery &

two good opening bowls by Jon Sparham putting them in control of the first end until an excellent
wood by David Lamb earned his triple a 1-0 lead
