Match Report - 09 Nov 2025, Cambridgeshire Short Mat Bowls County Premier Team lost to Northamptonshire


The county squad travelled to Northants on Sunday 9th November for our latest inter-county fixture. With several regular players unavailable, a few of the combinations were adjusted, providing valuable
opportunities for other members of the squad to step up and gain experience.

In the singles , we recorded two fine wins, one in each round and at the half way stage the overall shot difference was close enough to put the bonus points within reach. Although we narrowly missed out, it was an encouraging and hard fought effort.

One of our triple teams, who produced an excellent performance to win both of their games and secure the bonus points in that discipline, earning six points overall.

The final score was 10-30, representing a solid improvement on the previous match against Norfolk. While we were hoping for a slightly better outcome, there were plenty of positives to take forward into the fixture.
