PARKWAY have made Northants Bowling Federation history by becoming the first club from the county to win the Durham Centenary Trophy, the English Bowling Federation’s club championship.
They were comfortable 114-84 winners over Cleveland’s Hartlepool Old Boys at Skegness, winning on three of the four rinks.
The competition has been running since 1995, but only two clubs from the county have made the final in that time – Whittlesey Manor and Parkway before Parkway’s success.
The rinks of captain Ean Morton and Simon Law led the way with 35-15 and 31-15 victories respectively, while Phil Exley’s trio won 27-19.
