After a successful second hernia operation, Blackstones’ Martyn Dolby is expected to be fit to take his place in the Northants ‘A’ team for the Derbyshire Trophy inter county match against Northants B at Stamford IBC on Sunday, October 14 (10am).
He skips a rink which features Stephen Harris, runner-up in Sunday’s Stamford Open singles and Tony Scarr – a former EBF outdoor triples winner.
The fixture, which competition rules demand always precedes the other matches in the EBF southern group against North Cambs, Norfolk, Lincs and Hunts will again be keenly contested with most of the players familiar with the Stamford IBC surface.
The A team also features a welcome return of Jeff Newson as No.2 to former England international Tristan Morton, both Parkway outdoor players and currently gaining valuable experience of the playing conditions as new members of the Stamford indoor club.
The A team is: Paul Dalliday, James Harford, Simon Law (Parkway); Adam Warrington, Mick Humphreys & Roger Martin (Blackstones); Stephen Harris(Blackstones), Tony Scarr (Parkway)& Martyn Dolby (Blckstones); Nick Wilkie(Vanguard) Jeff Newson & Tris Morton(Parkway).
The B team is Helen Holroyd(Stamford Town), Cliff Watson (Peterborough & District)and Peter Brown (Whittlesey Manor); Mike Ramsden (Vanguard) Richard Allam and John Holroyd (Stamford Town); Brian Bassam (P & D), Dick Noble (West Ward)and Paul Bailey (Blackstones) ; Les Sharp (Broadway) Mick Linnell and Rod Maplethorpe (West Ward).
