There is double delight for one Hunts Women’s team – and double disappointment for another.
The local county eased to a second successive Silver Jubilee Vase victory last Wednesday when beating Norfolk 116-95 at St Ives BC.
But, at the same time, the Donald Steward Trophy squad were slipping to a second consecutive defeat when losing 126-90 to the same county at Somersham BC.
Linda Levi and Mandy Woodrow skipped the two successful Hunts rinks in the Silver Jubilee Vase contest which was watched by English Bowling Federation president Trevor Harris. County president Carole Hickey’s trio were involved in a tie in their match.
Hunts also triumphed on two rinks in the Donald Steward Trophy as skips Val Corn and Andrea Rose both prevailed by a single shot, while Celia Steward’s trio were pipped 24-23. But heavy defeats on the other two rinks led to overall defeat.
Hunts return to Donald Steward Trophy action next Wednesday (June 27) when hosting North Cambs at Somersham BC, but the Silver Jubilee Vase side are without a fixture due to North Cambs not entering that competition.
