MEN’S A

After last months victory against Norfolk, Suffolk A wanted to stay on top and needed to do well against Cambridgeshire.

Suffolk dug in to take the next two sessions 7-4 and 6-5 to make the final score Suffolk 26 - Cambridgeshire 18. With 1 point per frame and 5 bonus points for an overall win this gave 31 valuable points to Suffolk A.

Very well done to Samm Bemment and Ned Acton each winning 4 out of 4 and to Steve Lish for winning 3 out of 4.

MEN’S B

Suffolk B also got off to a good start winning the first session 7-4. A performance that they repeated in the second session to go 14-8 ahead. Cambridgeshire started to fight back and took 6 out of 11 frames in the third session. Suffolk still had a comfortable 19-14 lead and only required 4 more frames to take an overall win.

Final Session - Each team took a frame at the start, 20-15 to Suffolk. Cambridgeshire really started to dig in and took the next 4 frames.
