Craig Hearn defended his county singles title today (01-03-15) after defeating Rebecca Hearn in the final after an extra end.

It was Craig's 6th singles title and his 30th county title overall, a great achievement. Rebecca narrowly missed out on becoming the 2nd female winner of the singles (Sandra Gammage only previous winner) and missed out on joining the elite group of Craig Hearn, Mick Hearn, Pete Cook, David Danby & Neil Tuckey as the only people to have won all four county titles. 

Rebecca & Craig Hearn (Symonds Green) defetaed Andy Cobbold and David Danby (Stanstead Abbotts / Braughing) in the county pairs final on Sunday 1st February.

It was Rebecca's 5th county pairs title and incredibly Craig's 12th. Well done to both of them. Full results from the competition can be viewed under;

The 2014/2015 county triples were held at Ware Drill Hall yesterday (Sunday 30-11-2014). Twenty Two teams were competing for the title and it was Ian Carter, Jonathon Carter and David Danby of Braughing who took the title by defeating Jackie Harden, Roy Harden & Annette Luedtke (winners of the fours) of Little Hadham in an entertaining final. 

Congratulations to Ian, Jonathon and David. A deserved victory and a first county title for Ian & Jonathon. David may have already been or may now have joined the select group (Craig Hearn, Mick Hearn, Pete Cook & Neil Tuckey) of winning all four county titles. Can anybody confirm who were the triples winners from Braughing in 1996 and the fours winners in 2007/2008?

Congratulations to Jackie Harding, Peter English, Roy Harding & Annette Luedtke of Little Hadham who won the county fours at Ware drill hall on Sunday (26/10/14). They defeated Martin Simpson, Tom Slade, Sandra Gammage & Rob Washbrook of Symonds Green / Essendon in the final.
