Cornwall              6              2              0              4              98

 

Cornwall’s A team went into the match holding top spot with an 11 point margin over Somerset in the group standings and after a narrow defeat away to Somerset back in September would have been expecting to not only maintain but extend the margin.  Somerset however appeared to be much more the determined team dominating the two morning sessions to lead 13 points to three at the half way point together with the shots advantage in all four disciplines.  Cornwall’s points during the morning recorded by Tony Baldwin (19-13) in the Singles and Bon Williams, Linda Martin & Gerald Fisher (7-7) in the Triples.

 

The third session saw a mini revival from Cornwall who claimed three wins thanks to Graham Reeves (15-10) & Tony Baldwin (11-8) in the Singles and Miriam Barbery & Brenda Sleep (13-11) in the Pairs.  Cornwall secured the bonus points from the Singles with Somerset taking the Pairs to leave the score at Cornwall 11 Somerset 17 with a session to play.  The revival was short lived though as Somerset claimed all four games in the final session of Triples and Fours together with the respective bonus points to complete a comprehensive win.  The final score reading Cornwall 11 points 155 shots Somerset 29 points 185 shots.  Cornwall’s disappointing day was further compounded with the news from Dorset that Devon had recorded a 29-11 away win to push Cornwall into third place in the final standings.   The A Team will also now go into their respective Consolation competition where they will be seeking a third win in five years.
