- Spalding IBC’s fifth over-60s county league game of the season was at home against reigning champions Lincoln A.
Spalding started confidently against a strong Lincoln side, with three rinks having very close games throughout.
However, Spalding ended up winning on only one rink – resulting in a two-point haul to Lincoln’s 16. The aggregate score was close with a difference of only 13 shots, (93-106).
Spalding’s winning rink was skipped by Alan Browne, with Graham Hicks, David Head, and Brian Skelton. Captain for the day was David Lunn assisted by Graham Hicks.
