Thorpe Marriott's Jenny Walker along with
Halvergate's Donna Lamb, Keith Cooke and
David Lamb won back the county mixed fours
title from Wymondham's Debbie Sparham, Chris
Mann and Jon Sparham playing with Deaf
Sports' Laura Hawkworth, who had last won the
title in the 2017/18 season.
A brace scored on the first end by
Sparham was wiped out by end three which in
the context of the match proved decisive.
Sparham's four held three shots but a superb

gave his four shot and levelled the score at 3-3 in-
stead of it being 1-5. Another brace picked up by
Sparham on end four looked to have put the dis-
appointment behind them but back came Lamb's
four who won the remaining four ends, for a de-
served 9-4 win.

Wymondham's Hayley Osborne, Billie Barker,

Gray winning 14-2 then he beat Thetford's Kieran
Suffolk 13-3 and rounded off the first group with a
13-3 win over Chloe Suffolk also from Thetford. The
next round of group games saw similar results of 14-
Ryan Fox, Jack Gray, 3, 10-3 and 13-2 to Fox as he eased to victory and being

round of group games having won against her brother Keiran on the last end by 8-7 and drew
against Jack Gray 4-4 in a tight match. The second round of group games saw another draw
