National Championships

This is a weekend event that is held in Potters resort. All of the counties will travel including all of the Northern teams. Over the course of the weekend each county will play every county with each team playing a different team in that county.

As the weekend goes on all of the points will be added together and the winner will be decided on the sunday afternoon.

This would be the first time that Norfolk had got together as a full squad since some of the new players had joined.

In high spirits After the last county match Norfolk looking to build on this.

With a few people unable to make the date leaving the team a little light on the ground for members Norfolk still went in to look for a good performance.

The day did not go to plan, taking 4 sessions to get a strong session under their belt.

This meant that Norfolk finished the day on the bottom so not the result they started off looking for.

Moving forward looking to build more and get the team building going.

Suffolk being on top of the league this was always going to be a tough day for Norfolk.

On the weekend of the 9th Norfolk traveled to Potters leisure resort to take part in the National championships.

The weekend started off with a bad start but once Norfolk got going kept themselves in the running what looked like 2nd place.

With a great start on the Sunday and with the Norfolk taking all 3 games off Suffolk it threw the table wide open.

Sadly Norfolk could not keep the good form going after the 3rd session and started to fall away themselves, spirits remained high and with a points tally just 5 short of the previous year 4th place was as good as they could do.
