second leg win to lift Bure cup
Halvergate won back the Bure cup from East Tuddenham in a one
sided second leg that saw Halvergate win nine of the ten matches to
see them ease over the finish line with a session to spare. The first
leg at Tuddenham saw the home side make a good start as they took
the opening two matches but Halvergate hit back in the second with
a win and draw only for Tuddenham to repeat the same result in the
third session to keep the four point lead.
A drawn fourth session was then followed again by a draw and
win for Tuddenham to see them now hold a six point lead at 13-7. But Halvergate rallied in the last
session to again mirror the previous
session results to secure a win and
draw to give them only a 14-10 de-
feat.
Jean Woods, Gerald Potter and
Chris Mann were unbeaten on the
night with wins of 10-2 and 13-0 and
a 5-5 draw against Kevin Watson,
Nigel Willard and Jason Woods, who
were also unbeaten for Halvergate as
they picked up four shots in their first
game on the last end to win 6-5 and
followed that up with a 9-2 win and then again came from behind picking up three shots to draw
5-5 with Mann.
The second leg at Halvergate saw Tuddenham frustrated with close games not going their
way but a shared first session bought hope as Tuddenham's Elaine Willies, John Jeffery and Melvin
Woods beat Roy Walker, Nigel Willard and Jason Woods. But Halvergate's Ray Lamb, Jamie
Forster and Robbie Lamb beat Jean Woods, Gerald Potter and Chris Mann.
From there it was one way traffic as Halvergate's Steven Lamb, Simon Warnes and Morgan
Warnes lead the way winning all three of their matches. Mike Tate, Keith Cooke and David Lamb
also won the two matches they played as did Ray Lamb, Jamie Forster and Robbie Lamb as the
final session was not needed to be played.
East Tuddenham captain John Turner then congratulated the Halvergate team on their cup
win as he presented the Bure Cup to Halvergate captain David Lamb. The league cup was then
presented by David Lamb to John Turner as he congratulated the Tuddenham team on winning
the league this season.
Thorpe Marriott champions at last!
Thorpe Marriott champions at last!
For the first time in their history Thorpe Marriott are City of Nor-
wich League champions after winning 12-2 away to Sprowston
in their last match of the season. The result left Thorpe Marriott
two points ahead of defending champions Horsford BC.
With an inferior shots difference compared to Horsford BC
the Thorpe Marriott players knew that they needed to pick up at
least eleven points against Sprowston to be sure of the title and
that any mistakes could see the title slip from their grasp.
Marjorie Hall, Trevor Pinchen & Tony Turner gave the visi-
tors a dream start beating Margaret Harman’s triple 20-3 and
Jenny Walker, Mandy Marshall & John Jarvis completed a perfect
first half for Thorpe Marriott beating David Dewing’s triple.
