Nottingham Indoor Bowls Club completed a fantastic double win at Northampton today, with the club lifting two national titles on the same day.
Simon & Derek Skelton lifted the Father & Son Pairs championship for the second year running, coming through very close quarter and semi finals to comprehensively beat Roy & Darren Nutman (Dorchester IBC) in the final to lift the trophy.
Secondly, the club's under 25 double-rink team came through a very exciting, tense encounter with Banister Park of Hampshire, to win the David Cornwell under 25 club double rink trophy with a 39-30 win.
Matthew Vickery's rink held off a late fight back from their Hampshire opponents, closing out the game with a 22-14 victory. Phil Broughton successfully completed the win with a narrow 17-16 win.
The 20th end proved decisive, with a total of 7 shots being scored across the 2 rinks, with Nottingham transferring a 30-29 deficit into a 36-30 winning margin. The two Nottingham rinks then closed the game out by scoring 3 shots across the 2 rinks on the 21st end for a historic win.
The under 25 team had twice been runners-up in previous years.
