Hertfordshire v Norfolk - May 2009

Norfolk travelled to Hatfield to take on Hertfordshire and had a good day with all teams coming away with a win.


Player of the match: Peter Mullaney

The Men's A made a steady start just edging the first leg 6-5, but the home team reversed the score in the second leg to level. Into the third leg and the match swung back and forth, but the visitors managed to win the leg again by the odd frame to lead 17-16. The final leg saw Norfolk win six of the first seven frames to seal victory and eventually won the match 25-19, with Peter Mullaney in top form winning his four games.


Player of the match: Andrew Sheppard

The B team had a much easier match and the home side, although taking the first leg 6-5, had no answer as Norfolk had wins of 9-2, 10-1 and 9-2 again to win 33-11. David Willimott, Adrian Wood and Andrew Sheppard were all unbeaten.

The Ladies match swung wildly from side to side. The home team won the first leg by the odd frame, then the visitors took the second leg 9-2 only to lose the third 7-4. The visitors won the match halfway down the final leg but they could only manage to win two of the last six frames to record a 25-19 victory, with Frankie Rogers in outstanding form as she won all her games.


Player of the match: Frankie Rogers

The Youth team managed to record their first win of the season - with a little help from the home team who were two players short. The first two legs were shared but Norfolk took the third leg 7-4, which really made the difference to the match as they lost the final leg 6-5 but recorded a 23-21 win.


Player of the match: Aaron Hunter
