Norfolk Lions kick-start their season
Norfolk Lions are into their stride with two home victories – and now aim to do the same away from home.
The home victories came quite decisively against Arundel Mullets and then Goodwood Spitfires. Arundel Mullets were defeated 47:15, with rink victories 17:12 by Pauline Slade, Bee Edge, Errol Moult, and Bob Allen, and 30;3 by June Collins. John Collins, Hugh Montgomery, and Peter Slade.
Goodwood Spitfires were defeated 51:28 with Pauline Slade, Bee Edge, Errol Moult, and Bob Allen winning 29:16 and Caroline Longhurst, Hugh Montgomery, John Collins, and Peter Slade winning 22:12
Unfortunately this form could not be continued at Southbourne where the home side triumphed 23:40 although Pauline Slade, Bee Edge, Errol Moult, and Bob Allen only went down 17:19, the other rink going down 6:21.
Norfolk Tigers, away to East Preston Panthers lost 22:37, although the rink of Keith Ireland, Jenny McKeown, Peter Wilkins, and Carol Raggett went down by only three, losing 11:14. The other rink went down 11:23.
Norfolk Jaguars wrapped up an easy double over Crablands Avocets winning 67:12. Tony Borg, Mary Hartnett, Bernie Baker, and Jim Raggett won 27:7, whilst Richard Kitchen, Malcolm Janman, Ted Jessup, and Victory Turner were the other victorious set.
Lavant, having seen the score, expected to be thrashed when we visited them. They had no need to worry for they had a comfortable 25:45 victory. The rink scores were 12:22 and 13:23.
