Post date: Jul 23, 2019 11:14:59 AM

After they won the second division of the Lincs IBA county league, Stamford Men's B team might have expected a gentle start to their campaign. No chance!

Their first match is against the club's A team, who finished runners up to county champions Lincoln A last season and will be keen to put down a bragging rights marker when they meet on Sunday, October 6.

David Heffernan, captain of Stamford's Over 60s League Division Two winners might also have hoped to ease into the first division schedule but has been given a tough away start to Division One champions Lincoln A on Thursday, September 26.

Stamford mixed team, promoted to Division One entertain Horncastle on September 22.

Stamford IBC stages its Open morning - for those interested in taking up the game of indoor bowls - at its Exeter Gardens stadium on Saturday, September 14 (9-noon).
