THE NWBF’s Donald Steward team ended the season on a winning note in the battle of the ‘wooden spoon’ with visiting North Essex at the City of Peterborough club.
Their 119-104 (15-3) success, their first of the season, lifted them off the bottom of the southern section at the expense of North Essex.
No fewer than three of the five rinks ended in draws, but wins for the rinks of Chris Ford and Val Du’Kett tipped the scales in favour of the hosts.
