THE Diss and District Bowls Club ladies' A team completed a very successful season by winning the Premier Division of the Norfolk County League for the third time in four years.
This year the team were a totally convincing 17 points clear of the rest. This came on top of hard-fought campaigns in national team competitions.
In the Lingford Trophy for the under 60s they reached the quarter-final, in the Mason Trophy for the over 60s they went one better, reaching the semi-final.
The Yetton Trophy team also reached the semi-final, losing narrowly but a superb achievement for a relatively small club to be among the top four in the country.
