Sidmouth duo Jane Painter and Jill Bishop made further progress in the National Pairs competition last Saturday, writes Susie Bonnell.

Playing in round three, the pair were behind for 16 ends, but leveled things up on the 17th end to set up a gripping final end.

Painter and Bishop dug deep and managed to secure the match with one shot - matches do not get any tighter!

Round four will be contested against a pairing from Honiton.

All at Sidmouth Bowls Club wish our duo all the very best for the next round.
