MIXED EMOTIONS: Josey Rayner headed one of three visiting rinks to be victorious at North Cave, but Scunthorpe still missed out on silverware
Scunthorpe started the match well against the current trophy holders and had developed a slight advantage of 51 to 50 shots by the halfway point.
However, the home team were not about to give up the game easily and rallied, producing some excellent bowling and making it extremely difficult for the visitors to develop any real advantage in the match.

Scunthorpe tried hard to match their hosts, but were unable to stop them from taking an 89-76 lead by the three quarters stage of the battle.
The visitors unfortunately were not able to make any kind of comeback in the game either, eventually losing 106-92 on shots overall, despite winning three out of the six rinks.
Winning rinks for Scunthorpe were headed by Josey Rayner (24 to 7 shots), Eleanor Nicholson (24-10) and Pat Kelly (16-13) while Mary Wall (5-33) Joan Bolton (11-25) and Meg Gall (12-18) were beaten.
Scunthorpe must now wait another year before being able to mount their next challenge to bring the trophy back to North Lincolnshire.
