Northants A and B players pictured before the game at Peterborough<\/p>\n

WHEN THE dust settled after Northants Federation’s first ever Derbyshire Trophy match between its A and B teams, it was James Harford’s A side which won by just two shots, claiming 11 of the 14 points available.<\/p>\n

Having met each other in the opening fixture at Peterborough, as the competition rules dictate, they now each go forward to take on North Cambs, Norfolk, Hunts and Lincs in a bid to reach the national finals in April.<\/p>\n

And it was Harford’s rink, with Stephen Harris at lead and Martyn Dolby at skip in the two-bowl triples format, that proved decisive. <\/p>\n

They picked up six vital shots in the last three ends to secure a 32-19 win over Brian Bassam, Mick Greaves and Rod Maplethorpe and help the A team to an overall winning score of 100-98, winning two and drawing one of the four competing rinks.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere Simon Law won 24-18 against Graham Agger and Tony Scarr’s trio conceded seven shots in the last four ends to draw with Peter Brown. <\/p>\n

Mike Ramsden stepped in for an unavailable Jon Earl and helped Mick Humphreys and John Holroyd to collect valuable points for the B team, claiming 12 shots in the last six ends.<\/p>\n
