The Lane team had a wonderful win when they beat Madeira 89-45. All four teams (two at home and two away) won their matches.

The most successful was Margot Beauchamp, Sheila Ingyon, Jenny Fricker and skip Jane Painter winning 23-9. Well done to all the ladies involved.

Unfortunately the ladies were less successful when they played a very strong team from Torquay United in the Yetton Trophy Plate, a national competition, losing on three of the four rinks.

The only winning rink was Marian Watson, Sue Mison, Dreda Taylor and skip Jill Bishop.

In a men’s national competition- Top Club, which is played with five disciplines, Sidmouth had a close match against Budleigh.

Ivan Robins had a narrow win in the 2-wood singles and Tony Brown and John Mason combined to win the pairs but Budleigh were successful in the 4-wood singles and the full rink.

The last game to be completed was the triples which Budleigh won on the last end thus winning by three disciplines to two.
