The County Team 2008
National County 2 rink and singles successes at Worthing
Derbyshire have just had one of their best ever weekends at
the Bowls England Championships where they came very close to
achieving an unique double in the National County Top 2 rink and
National Under 25's 2 rink competitions.
On Saturday 16th the senior side won the National County Top 2 rink
title,for the first time in their history, by defeating Norfolk in the
semi's and Cornwall in the final.
Unfortunately on Sunday 17th the Under 25's lost in the final
against Essex having earlier beaten Dorset in the semi's.
To add to the successes Derbyshire have had at this years championship
Simon Skelton came close to winning the singles title but in the end finished
as the runner-up after a grueling two days schedule.
Very nearly two National titles for Simon in seven days!!
However I am sure you will agree that all those that took part can be very proud of
their achievements and lets hope Derbyshire can look forward to even better
things next season.
