The Over-60s teams were in Triples League action last week and returned a mixed back of results.
The A team stayed at home to entertain Marine against whom they won 18-12 on one rink, but on the other they went down 21-20.
The B team journeyed to Tiverton West End and did well, winning 30-8 and 13-12.
However, the C team did less well losing 21-13 and 21-19 in their meeting with hosts Morchard Bishop.
Sidmouth took six rinks to Lyme Regis for a Saturday match.
The weather was kind and the competition, as always, fierce.
The final score was 103-86 in favour of the home side.
The best performing Sidmouth rink as the one of Steve Boyle, Jean Green and Jason Quinn.
