Post date: Jun 4, 2017 6:38:30 PM

Competing in the second of their series of matches in the EIBA's Fantastic Fives competition, Stamford Indoor Bowls Club managed only three of the eight points available at Rugby Thornfield IBC.

They lost 48-31 overall, winning one and drawing one of the four disciplines.

Captain Tony Barwell kicked off in the singles and held a 10-8 lead going into the last of the 12 ends but dropped a three. It was a similar fate for the rink of Jeff and Jeanette Bourne, Judy Barwell and David Howarth, but after the Barwell's had forced a 9-9 draw in the pairs, Howarth and the Bournes salvaged some pride with a 10-8 victory in the triples.

Stamford entertain Kingsthorpe at Northampton on June 11 (2.00p.m).
