Denis Stapleton reports: "Our Weekend Friendly team have done the double. OK it was against Deeping who included a couple of players who had next to no experience of playing indoors, but don't take anything away from our victory, the majority of their players were very experienced. A lot of our success came from a mixture of the 'old school' and players who are relatively new to the game, and some who have joined our friendly ranks for the first time. They all contributed to the impressive 155-45 win with every rink being successful. Our best rink being that of newcomers Garry and Tina Knights with that old wily campaigner Harry Fidom who had an impressive 39-5 victory. Others who particularly impressed, were again a husband and wife pair, Jeff and Jeanette Bourne, who having been playing since January this year show great promise for the future, Well done everyone who played."

Rink scores ( Stamford names only ) Arthur Chapman, Maggie Holden, Trevor Christie won 20-13; Tina Knights, Harry Fidon, Garry Knights won 39-5; Janette Bourne, Denis Stapleton, Jeff Bourne won 26-3; Janet Dye, Margaret Grainger, Maurice Dye won 22-8; Ken Rawlins, Stan Godfrey, Ron Blake won 24-6. Martin Costin, Claudette Henman, James Hebden won 23-10.
