Following their latest defeat by rivals Spalding, hopes had dwindled of qualifying, despite a game in hand, so it required a full house of points. But their stubborn opposition were in no mood to concede quietly.

There was a comfortable win for the rink skipped by Jeff Pitt while Malcolm Mitchell, Neil Wright and Adam Warrington performed heroics to win 20-9 despite being a player short.
Injuries during the game and counts against them at crucial stages left the fours of Trevor Collins and Roger Martin empty-handed.
Pitt - with Dave Heffernan, Jim Pryor and Chris Ballard - took the rink honours 33-12, having led 23-2 then claiming 13 shots without reply in seven ends.

NORTHANTS BOWLS FEDERATION FINALS
Yvonne Monaghan won three titles at the Northants Bowling Federation indoor finals held at Peterborough IBC on Sunday - singles, senior singles and pairs.
She beat Elizabeth Wallace, Chris Ford and Lyn Tuck & Shirley Suffling respectively (with Vicky Simpson) but lost the two-bowl triples to Wallace, Ford and Sue Moir.
Federation chairman Martyn Dolby retained his county senior singles title against Kevin Vinter and in the men’s singles Stephen Harris beat John Holroyd.
There was a last end win for Tom Newman-Borrett and substitute Liz Hext in the mixed pairs and it took a final bowl on the extra end to see Paul Dalliday, Simon Law and Tristan Morton beat holders Mike Humphreys, Newman-Borrett and Harris in the men’s triples.
Ollie Jeapes retained his Northants Bowling Federation Under 25 singles when he beat friend and rival Owen Aspinall in a delayed final 21-7 at Stamford IBC on Monday. The pair were unable to compete in the NBF finals at Peterborough IBC owing to a previous commitment at York IBC at the weekend but in a high quality 2-bowl singles match, Jeapes earned the right to defend his national EBF title.
Winners will represent the county in the national finals at Lincoln IBC at the end of April.
