Statisticians have been scouring the history books to see if Diss Duval have created a new Norfolk Petanque League record after an incredible 50-point winning margin in their 5-0 Division Three victory over Drayton Bob Carter Centre.

Duval opened with straightforward triples wins for Roger True, Joyce Goodey and Steve Penny and Peter Turner, Jackie and Chris Johnson, 13-7 and 13-4 respectively.

But in the doubles, Duval ripped apart their opponents, conceding just four points in the three games with a 13-0 win for Chris Johnson and Yoshi Shinagawa the highlight of the 65-15 success.

Eccles proved the graveyard for a Diss team again where Vikings repeated Duval's early-season woes with a 5-0 defeat against G2.

Ronnie Bartrum and Ken Roberts top-scored with nine points in the doubles but the other five games saw Vikings muster only 17 more points.

An exciting division two encounter between Le Diss Sportif and Freethorpe Falcons went the way of the visitors 3-2 at Brewers Green Lane.

A win for Liz Rudling, Mick Clarke and Dave Marsh saw the teams level after the triples. Rudling and Clarke won their doubles but a defeat for Marsh and Lindsay Penny meant the match was decided in the game involving captain Dave Smith and George Otty.

The teams were level at 12-12 and Smith was on with his final boule to give Sportif the advantage.

But it was in vain as Beryl Bullock

dislodged it for the winning point with her penultimate boule.
