Twelve months on from one of the most successful years for members in the county championships, Doddington dominate once again this year by not only defending the pairs, triples and fours crowns but also adding the Singles silverware to the records. This year all four disciplines were played over two weekends in July. A good representation from Doddington gave the club every chance of success. The singles started the campaign and by semi-final stage three members battled it out for the title. B Harrison was defeated by Walpole Highways J Russell & L White lost to J Peters. Last year’s runner up (J Peters) then went that one step further by winning the final against J Russell after a close final. The Fours followed straight after and was organised on a league basis due to the number of teams involved. After all games were played J Saunders, B Harrison, R Elmore & J Peters came out on top winning all games.

The following week competitors made their way once again to March Indoor Bowls club, which is now the home venue for the Cambs SMBA, to compete in the Pairs and Triples disciplines. The pairs results see all Doddington players in the top three positions with a final deciding the eventual winners between B Harrison & J Peters and B Elmore & R Elmore. The father and son duo came through as winners. Third place went to last year’s winners D Butcher & J Charter. The Triples event concluded the championships and with a number of Doddington teams taking part, the trio of P Elmore, B Elmore & R Elmore won the title for the first time.

All winners will now represent the club and county at the National Championships in Melton Mowbray next April. Further places maybe available depending on the national allocation of places at the championships by the ESMBA. Full report and details will be available during and after the championships. Watch this space in April 2018 and good luck to all involved.
