Northants made county history at the weekend when they won the English Bowling Federation's Eversley Trophy for the third year running.

They completed the hat-trick in this double rink event for county officers and executives at Lincoln, pipping near neighbours North Cambs on shots difference (+22 to +16) after they had finished level on 19 points, writes Melvyn Beck.

Northants won on both rinks against Hunts and Humberside, won one and lost on against Lincs and tied on both against Norfolk. The successful rinks were: Andy Cox, Martyn Dolby, Graham Agger; Bob Warters, Ally McNaughton, Simon Law.
