The 2026 Eastern Counties Champions of Champions event was hosted by Norfolk at Littleport, on Sunday 10th May.

Fours
Cambridgeshire and Suffolk were the only teams to win both of their opening games, but while Cambs went on to make it 3 out of 3, Suffolk lost.

The fourth round of games saw Cambs maintain their undefeated record with a draw, which allowed Herts to draw within a point.

However Cambridgshire suffered a heavy defeat in their final game, allowing Hertfordshire, who picked up a fourth win, to come through and retain the title the same Four won in 2025.

Winners: Hertfordshire (Matt & Emma Thurley and Simon & Amy Missing)

Triples
Cambridgeshire and Essex won their first two games while everyone else had suffered at least one loss. However both leaders went on to lose their next game, leading to a four-way tie between them, Hertfordshire and Suffolk.

Of the four only Suffolk and Cambridgeshire won again and with the two of them playing one another in the final round of games, no one else was in contention.

Suffolk made a good start, but allowed Cambridgeshire to come from behind to take both the win and the title.

Winners: Cambridgeshire (Beryl Wicks, Paul Ellis & Colin Wicks)

Pairs
Only Suffolk were undefeated after 2 games. They also won their third game with Hertfordshire the only other team to have won more than once.

With the top 2 teams playing one another in the penultimate round of games, a win for Suffolk would secure them the tiel with a game to spare, and that's just what they did.

They went on to win their 5th game, making them the only team in any discipline not to lose a game all day.

The win meant that Neil is now the second person to win all 4 disciplines at the ECCBA Champion of Champions, after Paul Ellis.

Winners: Suffolk (Neil Jolly & Tom Runnacles)

Singles
Peter Orrin (Essex) was the only undefeated player after 2 games, but he lost his third and with Pete Cook (Herts) and Matt Frost (Norfolk) winning, it was a 3-way tie at the top.

Peter lost again and with Pete and Matt both winning, it was all going to come down to the final head-to-head game between the pair of them.

Pete led from the start but a full house to Matt on the 7th end got him back to within a shot. However Pete replied with a 3 which meant that the shot advantage he held at the before the game started meant that he couldn't lose the tiitle.

He finished on 8 points, to retain the title, with Peter, Matt and David Foulkes (Cambs) 2 points behind.

Winner: Pete Cook (Hertfordshire)

Team
The first session finished with all 6 counties on 4 points, but it didn;t stay that close for long and after the next session Suffolk and Essex led the way on 12 points with Herts 4 behind.

Herts climbed up to share the lead with Suffolk after 3 sessions, with Cambs just 2 points behind, and the rest of the day would see the three of them fighting it out for the title.

With 4 rounds down the 3 of them were seperated by just 1 point, with Cambridgeshire now on top, but it was Herts who came through for the win, finishing on 26 points, one ahead of Cambs, with Suffolk on 24.

Winners: Hertfordshire
