NORTHANTS A made it two wins out of two in their quest to regain the English Bowling Federation’s Derbyshire Trophy with a dramatic and exciting 100-92 (10-4) win away to North Cambs at March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The situation appeared bleak when the hosts stormed into a substantial early lead, but Northants showed dogged determination and resilience to gradually erode the deficit before edging in front late on to secure the bulk of the points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rink of Chris Ballard, Brian Martin and Peter Brown were the mainstays of the fightback with a 32-18 victory, while the rink of Stuart Agger, Paul Dalliday and Simon Law edged home 26-24 after a topsy-turvy struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the rinks of Adam Warrington (Michael Humphreys and Wayne Morris) and Graham Agger (Martyn Dolby and Mick Linnell) were beaten 17-23 and 25-27 respectively – the latter were 4-18 down – they produced fighting performances to come back from substantial early deficits to enable Northants to claim the overall spoils at the expense of a strong North Cambs line-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Northants are not in action again until February 1st when they visit Hunts before rounding off the campaign with home matches against Norfolk and North Essex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
