Richard Allam, Malcolm Cullingworth and Derek King bowed out in the Over 50 triples with a 23-7 defeat at Spalding.
Already top of the Lincs Women's (Trudy Bates) A League, Stamford extended their lead by claiming 12 of the 16 points available at home to Skegness.
The visitors were only able to send four rinks, two of which they won against rinks skipped by Christine Ford (16-19) and Sue Moir (14-19) but did enough with rinks skipped by Peggy Birch (23-9) and Joan Robinson (28-10) - who had Janet Dye at lead making an impressive debut - to settle the issue 81-57.
