Post date: Nov 28, 2017 3:06:48 PM

Stamford A's hopes of having representation in the next round of the national Over 60s Double Rink - they reached the inter Area final last year - were dashed by Sleaford A who won both home and away for a 44-34 aggregate.

Followong a delayed start at Sleaford after a shaken Stamford skip Roger Martin suffered a tyre blow-out on his way to the match, Sleaford took an early overall advantage leading 18-8 on completion of the first five ends.

Stamford's away side, however, staged a fightback and from 0-11 down levelled the scores at 16 apiece (12 ends) with a hat-trick for four-counts. But they couldn't quite maintain their momentum and eventually lost 18-25.

At Stamford, Martyn Dolby's rink were unable to contain veteran Gerald Pask's quartet, losing 16-19.

Sleaford A will play Sleaford B (winners over Spalding) in the next round.
