                          Singles Championship
             Sixteen bowlers from the Coastal League met for the League
             Singles Competition, held at Hemsby Village Hall. In the Round
             Robin Stage, Sandra Tungate from Bradwell Dynamos was the
             winner in Group 1, Derek Sheldrake from Woodbastwick Owls
             was the winner of Group 2, Mike Harvey from Bradwell Acorns
             won Group 3, and Peter Jablonowski came through as winner
             of Group 4.
                   In the Quarter Finals, Derek Sheldrake won his match 8-
             4 against Lyn Moore of Hemsby Harvesters.  Mat 2 saw a very
             tight match between Sandra Tungate and Harvester’s Trish             Finalist Sandra Tungate
                                                                                  Finalist Sandra Tungate
             Wooden, which went to an extra end, with Sandra Tungate                      and winner
                                                                                          and winner
             emerging as winner.  Mat 3 saw a close game which ended                  Derek Sheldrake
                                                                                      Derek Sheldrake
             with  Peter  Jablonowski  beating  John  Beadle  of  Hemsby
             Beachcombers 7-5.
                   On Mat 4, Alan Marker from Beachcombers had a comfortable win 10-3 against Mike Har-
             vey. The two Woodbastwick Owls players Derek Sheldrake and Peter Jablonowski were drawn
             against each other in the Semi-finals, which produced another close match, Derek Sheldrake
             just pipping his fellow Owl by one shot.  Sandra Tungate won the other Semi-final, beating Alan
             Marker 8-5.
                   An excellent Final was enjoyed by all the supporters, it could have gone to either bowler,
             but in the end Derek Sheldrake of Woodbastwick Owls came away with a well-deserved winner’s
             trophy. The photos show Terry Nash, Chairman of the Coastal League presenting the Trophies
             to Derek Sheldrake and Sandra Tungate.
             Hawksworth lands second county title with Mann
                                                  Wymondham's  Chris  Mann  and  Deaf  Sports'  Laura
                                                  Hawksworth claimed the Norfolk pairs title seeing off Morgan
                                                  Warnes of Horsford BC and Gary Best of Bob Carter in a
                                                  fiercely competitive final. For Mann this was his third pairs
                                                  title with three different players and for Hawksworth is now
                                                  her second county title after her mixed fours win last season.
                                                       After four ends the final was locked at 3-3 but the next
                                                  two  ends  changed  the
                                                  shape of the match with a
                                                  single then maximum four
                                                  scored  by  Mann  and
                                                  Hawksworth  gave  them
                                                  an    8-3    lead.    This
                                                  prompted  Gary  to  swap
                      Pairs Winners               with Morgan but only two
                      Pairs Winners
                     Chris Mann and               singles emerged for them
                     Chris Mann and
                   Laura Hawksworth               over the next two ends as
                   Laura Hawksworth
             a  brace  claimed  by  Hawksworth  had  seen  them  win  the
             match with an end to spare as they led 10-5.
                   It was a fitting end that had seen Laura claim multiple
                                                                                       Pairs Finalists

             and Keith Cooke of Halvergate beat Halvergate's Kerry Greenacre and Wortwell's David Blundell
             13-7 which looks to have at least secured them a nationals place for their efforts in a solid per-
             formance.
