CONNAUGHT 'A'
CONNAUGHT ‘A’ V CONNAUGHT ‘B’
Connaught ‘A’ played Connaught ‘B’ at Banham in the Five Pairs semi final. The ‘A’ Team won by 49 shots to 32.
First Pair Diana and Bill Adcock drew 8-8 with Ron Madden and Alison Rush.
Second Pair Christine Musk and Sylvia Parsons won 12-2 against Heather Winup and Joyce Hazell.
Third Pair Ty Musk and Ollie Allen lost 8-10 to Peter Hambling and John Winup.
Fourth Pair Derek Liles and Sheila Bragg won 10-6 against Phil King and Alan Marshall.
Fifth Pair Mike Parsons and Ray Wells won 11-6 against Moira Eades and Ralf Ramm.
There is always some nervous tension for both ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams when they play each other, but overall both played well. Although the ‘A’ team won, at several points during games due to excellent shots or unlucky ones, the result could have been different.
In the other semi-final, Watton played Wymondham. In a very close match Wymondham won the match but going into the last three ends the result could have gone either way.
The date and venue has not been set for the final between Connaught ‘A and Wymondham.

CONNAUGHT 'A' V HINGHAM
Connaught won at home 57-23 to Hingham in the first round home leg on 1st December 09.
Diana Adcock and Bill Adcock won 14-2
against M Potter and K Thomas.
Christine Musk and Sylvia Parsons lost 7-8
to P Groombridge and J Baker.

against P Roache and J Higgs.
Ty Musk and Sheila Bragg won 9-7
against A Marshall and M White.
Mike Parsons and Ray Wells won 13-4
against E Frary and J Frary.
This was a very good first leg for Connaught Diana and Bill Adcock started the match with a good result and this continued with Connaught’s other pairs. A 34 shot advantage looks good but faster and trickier (to us) mats at Hingham, could make the return match a very close contest.
