This was held over the weekend of Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th February. England finished with an impressive 100% record, winning all three of their games against Wales, Scotland and Ireland to lift the Joyce Brimble trophy for the first time since 2018.
The England team included Northampton’s own Conor Bryan who lifted the trophy in his final year before becoming too old for selection.
The event was opened by the Mayor and Mayoress of Northampton, Cllr Paul and Mylissa Joyce, with the Mayor of Northampton bowling the first wood at the official opening.
The opening ceremony included 5 Mascots all supplied by the N&D.I.B.A, Emily, 7, Harry, 6, Joseph B, 8, Joseph, 7 and Hugh, 7. Club Chairman Richard Lemon handed over the green wishing all players the very best of luck for the weekend.
A bumper crowd of over 550 people over the course of the two days were all treated to a bowling display of the highest quality. This included excellent bowling from Conor who did himself, his family, country, county and club very proud.
This was a great honour and privilege for the club to be chosen to host this event and special thanks go to all the volunteers, the bar and restaurant for making the success of this event possible.
