Honiton men won a thrilling contest in the Inter Club League competition last week, writes Joan Mackintosh.
The opposition were Mid Devon and, after a close encounter of the bowling kind, there was just a single shot between the teams with Honiton taking the match honours 91-90.
Honiton won three out of the four rinks, collecting 12 out of the possible 14 points. The result leaves Honiton lying third in the league and they have a game in hand on the leaders.
The top rink honours for Honiton went to P Barradell, T Williams, C Jacob and I Veitch, who won 26-20.
The men then played another Inter Club League fixture, with the opposition this time being Sidmouth and, once again, Honiton were in fine form, winning the match 80-54 and so again banking 12 out of the 14 points!
