Sidmouth B likewise gained only two points for the one winning rink.

The home re-arranged Over-60 match played earlier this week gave Sidmouth maximum points. The B squad played Okehampton B squad and won 49-25.

B Smith, J White, R Cook, 30-10. J Chew, P Mison, W Boddy, 19-15. The C squad played Bradnich A squad away and, having lost to their B Squad just last week, a positive result was hardly expected. However, we won on both rinks, ensuring the eight points, which could prove invaluable in the quest to avoid relegation this season.

R Stubbs, W Turner, J Richardson, 21-8. J Wrench, M Watson, F Adlam, 21-13. Our team of R Tallent, D Bridgeman, B Mortimer, Eddy Mills came a creditable second at the Victory Bowl contest at Budleigh this week with a plus score of 8. Well done.
