Local Ladies Pam Cutts, Sue Mart and Jackie Turner have clinched yet another British Isles title for England after they won the British Isles Triples title at Perth, Scotland on Tuesday 16th March 2010.

 

The Nottingham ladies were invited to Perth, Scotland to defend their British Isles Triples title which they held having won this event in Northern Ireland in 2009.

 

They have achieved remarkable success, in fine style, recording a fantastic back to back win.

In their opening match they played Scotland on their home green in an electric atmosphere before hanging on to win 19-17 in a nail biting finish.

 

In the final against the Welsh winners, an all round team performance saw the ladies surge ahead early on and they never looked back to record a thumping victory, 24 – 2.

 

All three ladies are a credit to Nottingham Indoor Bowls Club and the members are absolutely delighted for them.

 

This title caps an incredible record of four national titles in four years for local skip Pam Cutts. Pam won the National Unbadged Pairs title with Audrey Pinder in 2007 and the English & British Isles Pairs with team-mate Sue Mart in 2008. In 2009 Pam and Sue linked up with Jackie Turner and won the National and British Isles Triples Title in Northern Ireland.

 

They were invited to Perth, Scotland this year to defend this triples title and have won to record a quite remarkable achievement.

 

All three Ladies are currently representing England in the International Series which ends this Friday.

Gedling's Phillip Epton & Co have clinched a place at the upcoming National Championships, to be held from 9-18 April 2010 at Nottingham IBC.

 

In a tight game, played on a neutral green at Erewash, our team of Matt Vickery, Alistair Hansen, Duncan Robinson and Brett Morley led for long periods but went into the final end 1 shot up.
