              The four started off on the back
              foot in the group stages against                                                               27
              Forncett, having trailed 1-7 with
              just three ends remaining, which
              prompted  a  change  and  saw
              Jack Pye skip and Jon Sparham
              moved to three and the change
              worked  with  them  picking  up
              three threes to win 10-7.
                   Their final group match saw
              them lose to Bob Carter's Nigel

              Jablonowski's win Coastal Pairs in style

              All the clubs were represented in this year’s Pairs Competition, each club fielding two teams.
              Four pairs competed in the Round Robin on each mat.  Mat One winners were the Hemsby
              Beachcombers’ duo of Gail and Mick Hodgson, winning all their games with an impressive 6
              points.  Runners up were Anne and Keith Baker, from Woodbastwick Eagles.
                   A much closer result on Mat Two saw Woodbastwick Owls’ Jenny Walker and Ted Sims
              just running out winners with only shot difference giving them the edge over Mavis Squires and
              Carol Illingworth from Bradwell Robins.
