NORTHANTS B returned pointless from their trip to Fakenham to face Norfolk in the English Bowling Federation’s Derbyshire Trophy.
They were beaten 124-61 leaving them with just two points from two matches, although the rink of Tony Barwell, John Holroyd and Kevin Vinter came close to adding to that total as they were beaten on the last end by a single shot.
