Midland League – Durham 185-77 North Lincolnshire
The lads made a cracking start to the defence of their Midland League title as they beat North Lincolnshire 20-2 at Darlington.
Despite a few changes to the selected line up as the 108 shot win shows the lads were in control from the off. Across the green we won on five of the six rinks with only Gateshead’s Alan Jobling missing out narrowly by a couple of shots.
Special mention to the quartet of Hartlepool’s, Alan Hind, Darlington’s Michael Lynch and the Vipers duo of Dave Paterson and Dale Oram who racked up a 51-8 win. Sky Sports were reporting it should have been 52 but someone missed with his final bowl for an EIGHT……. no names.
Next up is a trip to Doncaster to face our old foes Yorkshire for the Tony Horobin Trophy on November 21.
