Match Report

Match Report - 23 Nov 2025, Cambridgeshire Short Mat Bowls County Premier Team lost to Norfolk 1


This year's home game against Norfolk was held at Tydd St Giles community centre due to the unavailability of MIBC.
Although we improved on our recent away match with Norfolk by gaining 5 more points, we still lost the fixture 5-35. The Norfolk team initially struggled to read the mats on some rinks, but after a few ends they adapted well, finding the correct lines and adjusted to the change in weight from one end to the other. The opposition also used heavy shots to change the head when we were holding multiple shots similar to our experience in the away fixture. This is an area we ned to work on as a squad for the future.
We have two games left to play this season in order to change our position in the group.
