Inter County Competitions (ICC)

Resplendent in the new County Kit, we knew we were in for a hard fought game as we only just narrowly won at our home game. We had a small lead at lunchtime but not so good in the afternoon. The final score was 24 – 16 to Cambridge. An enjoyable and hard played game of bowls. Well done to all

A really good event playing Home and Away on the same day. It was well organised by Chris Weston and Dave Ekins. Both teams enjoyed the great sportsmanship and friendly atmosphere. Eventually Norfolk being the strongest team won by 77-3

The umpire for Northants was supplied by Cambridge

It was a friendly, yet competitive match. There was some good performances by Northamptonshire despite being short of a number of regular players. Unfortunately Suffolk had the better of the hard fought games. The result was Suffolk 28 to Northamptonshire 12 point
