KLBC Juniors success stories 

Earlier this morning at 09:30 the Rollings boys Connor and Kieran had an awesome win
against Harvey Johnson and Adam Pitfield of Rushden to win the NYBDS under 18's open
pairs, to add to the outdoor version they won last season.

2015 Presentations

After their earlier fantastic win Connor then went on to play Adam Pitfield again at
14:00, in the NYBDS under 18's singles. Unfortunately after what was a very tight game
throughout Connor lost 21-20, although losing, this is yet another testament to this
young man’s ability and desire. Commiserations Conner

Connor was due to play the final of the Northamptonshire County under 25's singles
yesterday evening against Connor Cinato of Desborough, but due to a little fact that
Connor Cinato was in Jersey playing for England in the ,World Indoor Bowls Council's
Senior Championships, losing in the Quarter-final on an tie-break. This game will now
take place at Welling borough at 10:00 tomorrow morning.

We all wish you the very best of luck Connor in your endeavour to make it a two out of
three for the weekend.

Bruce Sibbett totally upstaged the brothers at the NYBDS "Skillsday" at Northampton
I.B.C. In January, by qualifying to play in the National area finals. These take place
tomorrow at Melton Mowbray.
Bruce all the members wish you all the best for tomorrow

Although this has been an awesome season for all our young members, the most
exciting news!!!!
As most of you will know by now, Connor and Kieran were nominated for an ENGLAND
INTERNATIONAL under 18's trial for which they have both been selected. This will take
place on Sunday 26th April at Rugby I.B.C.
We understand they are the only representatives from our county, so not only is it a
feather in their cap but also that of the club !!

Well done to "ALL" of our youngsters for a most memorable season!!!
