THE NBF/NWBF county finals take place at Blackstones this Sunday (July 14th) starting at 10.00am.
Four players will be chasing a hat-trick of county titles on the day – Paul Dalliday (Parkway), Roger Stevens (Whittlesey Manor), Elaine Upton (Ketton) and Angela Cox (Langtoft), while young Ollie Jeapes (Parkway) competes in two having already been given a walkover in both the under 25 singles and pairs, so could be involved in four finals at Skegness.
There are four defences of titles – Graham Agger (Whittlesey Manor) in the veterans singles, Angela Cox (Langtoft) in the secretary singles, Adam Emery, Ean and Tristan Morton (Parkway) in the three-bowl triples and John Suffling and Bob Warters (Ketton) in the senior pairs.
Three of last year’s beaten finalists are hoping to go one better this time – Roger Stevens and Tom Newman (Whittlesey Manor) in the pairs, Angela Cox (Langtoft) in the four-bowl singles and Neil Wright (Parkway) in the Champion of Champion singles.
