INTER COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
Cornwall's Premier Team cruised into the Semi Finals of the ESMBA Inter County Championship on Sunday defeating Surrey 23-5 at Daventry Indoor Bowling Club with a session to spare.  Cornwall went into the match with a number of changes to the team that defeated Avon in the previous round.

Cornwall won three of the four games in the first session with Nigel Nicholls and James Smith winning 11-10 and 16-12 respectively in the Singles.  Elise Daniell and Peter Hore won 17-7 in the Pairs.  The second session saw Cornwall take 7 out of a possible 8 points.  In the Triples Rose Dyer, Mark Payne and Mike Dyer drew 11-11 and John Worton, Sandra Worton and Chris Roberts won 19-8.  In the Fours Nathan Waters, Nicholas Truscott, Martin Boraston and Luke Jolly won 10-6.  Bob Smith, Richard Kerr, Gillian Cawrse and Callum Beale won 11-4.  Cornwall led by 13 points to 3 at the halfway point.

The third session saw Cornwall take 10 of the 12 points on offer to take an unassailable 23-5 lead in the match.  In the Singles Nicholls and Smith won 26-4 and 24-9 respectively and in the Pairs Daniell and Hore won 17-11.  With Cornwall taking the bonus points from the Singles and Pairs the match win was confirmed.  With Surrey conceding the final session Cornwall's Triples and Fours only got one game in the match.
