THE NBF Adams Trophy bounced back from the disappointment of the previous week’s last bowl one shot defeat against Hunts by crushing North Essex 210-129 at Blackstones and collect the maximum 22 points on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Essex had already won in Norfolk and only lost by three shots against Suffolk, but they had no answer to Northants’ power-packed display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rinks of Neil Wright, Mike Anderson and Adam Warrington all topped forty shots, and the clean sweep was achieved with wins for the rinks of team captain Adam Emery, Graham Agger and Kevin Vinter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Northants will hope to build on that success next Saturday (June 13) when they entertain Norfolk at Blackstones, with the Newton Trophy team in action against the same county at Whittlesey Manor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
