This is the first time this competition has been run and hopefully will continue to run for many years to come.
The competition was held with 12 teams split into 2 groups of 6, with the winners and the runner-up from each group going through to the semi-final.
The Teams that made it through to the semi-final were Littleport (not losing a game) and Wortwell with 4 wins out of 5. Tacolneston and Brockdish won 4 out of 5. Brockdish got through having scored 4 shots more than Kenninghall.
Wortwell Played Tacolneston. This all came down to the last 2 ends with the score level after 5 ends. Tacolneston did enough to get ahead and then keep there for the last winning the game 7-4.
The other match, Littleport vs Brockdish, was very one-way traffic. Littleport took the first 3 ends going 7-0. Brockdish started the comeback but dropped another end and only scored 2 singles and a double; the final score ended 8-4 to Littleport.
On to the final. This was a very tight game but could have been very different. David, the Littleport skip, managed to cut down the ends. After 3 ends, the score was 3-2 to Tacolneston.
This pattern very much continued with Littleport having to battle to score and finally, with a couple of good shots by Tacolneston, they scored a big end, picking up 4, leaving Littleport up against it.
Final score 7-5 to Tacolneston
Congratulations to Tacolneston (Richard, Jon and Chris)

Wortwell hosted a 5-a-side competition on June 14th
This competition is different to most as you enter a team of 5 and play in the format of a Rink, Triple, Pair and Single, with the Singles player unable to play the Pair.
You play against another team of 5, with each point and shot being taken onto the next game.
With each Team of 5 playing 3 other teams, there is a maximum of 24 points to play for.
We welcomed teams from Essex and Cambridgeshire to Norfolk to play this format.
All of the games were really well contested, and some very high-calibre games were played.
This year, each individual discipline was given something for being the best on the day as well as the overall team.
Congratulations to the Team from Essex coming out winners of the overall team

Wortwell held a competition on 30th April.
The competition was slightly different to most and also from what it had been in previous years.
The competition was for a team of 5 to be split and would have them play in a rink, triple, pair and single. Only rule being that a single could not play in the pairs as well.
The teams would play a random teams through out the day and each team would play 3 other teams and the points added up to find the overall winner.
Norfolk had a competition to raise some money for the county team.
This was a triples competition instead of a pairs competition which it had been in previous years
20 teams entered, this was drawn 4 groups with 5 teams with everyone playing each other.
Group winners and runners up progressing to the next round
This was then played down to just the 2 teams which happened to both be teams from Reepham
With Jimmy, Peter and Matt facing off against Sue, Trevor and Dean.
Was a very close final but with Dean needing to draw his last wood for the win and doing so to make the 3 this made them the winners.
Congratulations to Reepham Robins

South Norfolk played host to their annual tournament against the Bury League
On Sunday 2nd October the Waveney League in South Norfolk played host to their annual tournament against the Bury League,
with Waveney emerging victorious 29 points to 19 points. The final score did not really reflect the amount of tight games there had been but the turning point for Waveney was the session immediately after tea when Waveney took 10 of the 12 points.
This is a great tournament instituted quite a few years ago and we look forward to going to Risby next year.
