Ginny Marsh completed a women’s singles double at the Huntingdonshire county finals.
Marsh beat Hemingford clubmate Alison Wilson 21-16 in the Two-bowl Singles showpiece after earlier seeing off Huntingdon bowler Tina Webb 21-14 to land the Champion of Champions prize.
Webb gained compensation when beating Janet Chapman (Hemingford) by a single shot – 21-20 – in the Four-bowl Singles while Hemingford bowler Pat Brace produced a fine fightback to triumph 21-20 against Patsy Coles (Ramsey) in a Senior Singles clash that went right down to the wire.
Jorja Jackson’s victory in the Women’s Under 25 Singles was considerably easier – she received a walkover due to the late arrival of her opponent.
Sandra Day (Somersham) won the Secretary Singles and then formed one third of the winning Three-bowl Rinks team with clubmates Celia Steward and Pauline Whittlesey.
