Stamford’s Senior bowlers narrowed the gap between themselves and Lincs Over 60s League (South) leaders Lincoln A with a comprehensive defeat of bottom team Boston B on Wednesday.
They collected all 14 points in a victory that saw them claim exactly double the shots of their visitors (110-55) winning on all four rinks.
They didn’t claim the top rink prize but Kevin Vinter’s quartet of Jeff Bourne, Steve Miner and Bernie Crouch deserve special mention after battling back from 3-14 to win 27-16 scoring on the last seven ends without reply including a 7-count.
Trevor Christie’s rink, however (with Alan Romaine, Peter Burt and Derek King), went one better with a maximum 8-count on the third end of 30-15 victory.
