Northants women’s hopes of qualifying for either the Donald Steward or Silver Jubilee Vase competition were finally dashed in Suffolk – both teams returning pointless after a 170-mile round trip journey into East Anglia.<\/p>\n
The senior Donald Steward team lost 68-132 at Eye while the Vase bowlers went down 79-135.<\/p>\n
On a beautifully manicured green at Eye, the Suffolk players dominated and it was a similar story at Stowupland, where Jean Kendall substituted for Pat Collicott after three ends but was unable to prevent an 11-29 rink defeat.<\/p>\n
