Scunthorpe Telegraph

A mixed team of Scunthorpe players acquitted themselves well, but found York in devastating form in their meeting in the National Top Club Competition.

This competition is played on a knockout basis and in a format that includes ladies and men's singles, mixed pairs, mixed triples and mixed fours.

York & District are an extremely strong club, attracting some quality players as well as a number of exceptionally talented young players so this was always going to be a difficult fixture.

Scunthorpe arrived at York well-prepared for a battle.

The home team, which included a number of quality young players, were in fine form and dominated from the start thanks to some skilful bowling, particularly in the singles.

York secured the overall victory by 10 to six points (105 to 70 shots), leaving a disappointed Scunthorpe team to enjoy the home team's hospitality before making the long trek back home.

RESULTS: Phil Parker, Joan Bolton and Ray Robinson in the Mixed Triples won by 21 to 15 shots, Joyce Barnard, Chris Boulton, Paul Johnson and Paul Grimbleby in the Mixed Fours drew 18 shots each, Mo Regan and Phil Boulton in the Mixed Pairs lost by 29 to 16 shots, Adam Rhodes in the Men's Singles lost by 25 to 3 shots, Pat Kelly in the Ladies Singles lost by 18 to 12 shots. The York Club now go into the next round of the competition against the South Lincolnshire Club of Spalding.
