NEWS RELEASE 25 November 2012

 

INTER COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP

 

On Sunday Carnmoggas Indoor Bowls Club will host Cornwall’s final match of the group stages of this year’s ESMBA Inter County Championship when Somerset are the visitors.  Both the Premier and A Team matches will prove pivotal to the final outcome of the groups.

 

In the Premier Team competition Devon have an unassailable lead at the top of the table and have already qualified for the Main Championship.  Just seven points split Dorset (88), Cornwall (84) and Somerset (81) for the minor places.  With Devon playing Dorset on Saturday, Cornwall will start Sunday’s match knowing how many points they need to secure second place, provided they win on the day, and with it progression to the Main Championship.

 

In the A Team championship Somerset lead the way with 118 points with Cornwall just 2 points behind with Devon and Dorset more than 30 point behind.  On recent form Cornwall will be confident of securing the match win over Somerset and with it top spot in the table and progression to the Main Championship.

 

Team Manager Chris Cawrse is expecting the same 40 players who played against Devon three weeks ago to again line up for Cornwall on Sunday.

 

COUNTY TRIPLES

 

Over the weekend 40 teams have been competing in the qualification competition for the County Triples with 20 teams on each day chasing the eight places available in the finals.

On Sunday, despite the severe weather affecting much of the county, all 20 teams entered found their way to Carnmoggas for the 9.00 start.

 

Group One was decided by the final game with Richard Brown, Linda Martin & Gerald Fisher (Illogan) defeating Bill Sharp, Max Burden & Brenda Sleep (Dobwalls) 15-8 finishing with 6 +18.  The Dobwalls team also progressed to the knockout round as one of three best runners up with 4 +8.  Robin Bray, Fran Phillips & David Hickey (Helston) were Group Two winners with 4 +9.

The play offs saw Graham Ford score three on an extra end against David Hickey to claim victory 12-9.  Keith Matthews defeated Brenda Sleep 8-6 in a last end decider.  The draw placed Luke Jolly against Chris Roberts in a repeat of an earlier group game and for the second time on the day Jolly prevailed, this time winning by a closer score of 10-9 after another last end decider.  The final game was more one sided with Gerald Fisher defeating Geoff Risdon 14-4.
