North Cambs v Norfolk away at Great Plumstead Saturday 4th July 2026

Steve Glover North Cambs President commented, 'I want to say thank you to everyone who has made themselves available for our 6 matches this season. They didn't produce the results that we were wanting but we fulfilled the fixtures and were competitive throughout. In addition, we played all matches in the right spirit and were respectful when we won and lost. Next Summer we will do it all again. If you know of anyone who may be interested in representing North Cambs next Summer, please let me know'.

Report from Stephen Glover ~

 

Adams v Suffolk ~ Saturday 6th June 2026 at March Town BC

That was a hard one to take, we've lost by 14 shots overall 165 - 179 and only picked up 2 points. 

Proud of everyone's commitment and effort today on a difficult surface and against tough opposition.

Sadly it appeared that the luck was against us as well, certainly on our rink where their skip got a huge wick on end 30 to go from 5 down to 1 up.

Congratulations to winning rink Harry Cater, Paul King and Andrew Brooks 40 - 25 and Harry being presented with his County badge.

We need to go again at North Essex next week but I am currently short of players. If you've not given your availability and are available, please let me know asap. Thanks
