Connaught on a roll

After so long without a win in the Tens League Connaught reeled off their second victory in succession beating Hevingham 3-0. Di Quadling & Sylvia Parsons scored valuable shots in the opening pairs game beating Betty Cox & David Sharpe 19-8 so, despite Joe LiRocchi’s triple losing by 14-13 against Gill Bunn, Chris Brooks & Alan Bunn, Connaught went into the break ten shots to the good. Connaught’s domination in the pairs continued with a 15-12 win for Elaine & Bob Oatway against Pat Williamson & Steve Hall so the final triples game which was drawn 11-11 left Connaught celebrating a 3-0 home win. Hevingham also lost a Bure League match going down by 8-2 at home to a strong Halvergate line-up. In the first half Donna Lamb, Josh Baxter & Jason Woods beat Steve Hall’s triple 16-10 while David Knights, Nigel Willard & Simon Warnes scored an impressive 17-6 win against Alan Bunn’s triple. Halvergate scored another big win in the second half as Ray Lamb, Steven Lamb & Morgan Warnes beat Maurice Kemp’s triple 24-5. Hevingham’s only win of the night was achieved by Betty Cox, Joyce Vincent & David Sharpe who will be delighted with a 21-7 win against Mike Tate, Robbie Lamb & David Lamb. In the SNL Saxlingham scored a surprise 6-4 home win against second placed Hingham. Both teams won two games apiece but Saxlingham scored 52 shots against Hingham’s 48 to earn the two match points.
