Hagbourne's Dale Hall was a member of the Berkshire side, who celebrated their association’s centenary by lifting the Balcomb Trophy in the National County Top Two Fours at Worthing.

Hall, together with England’s Commonwealth Games duo, Mark Bantock and Robert Newman, and Jon Stradling, combined in the final for a thumping 39-7 win against a Devon rink, skipped by James Webber.

And it proved crucial as Berkshire’s other rink of Simon Jones, Darren Holder, Andrew Knapper and Gary Stacey were blown away 29-10 by Devon skip Sam Tolchard.

However, Hall and his rinkmates’s commanding victory saw Berkshire triumph 49-36.
