The Sidmouth outdoor season is moving on at a pace, writes Bert Hague.

Already members are booking their places in the semi-finals of various competitions.

Ken Bridgeman, Bill Sheerman and Bob Seldon secured their place in the semi-final of the Centenary triples where they will go head-to-head with David Butler, Mike Cox and Roger Stewart. We’ll bring you news of the contest as and when it is played.

In the Exeter and District Over-60s League the A team travelled to Seaton where the two rinks went down 26-15 and 26-8.

The C team made the short tip to Ottery St Mary where they enjoyed success on both rinks.

The D team, a new venture this season, journeyed to Wellington where they were beaten 26-14 and 21-11.
