BLACKSTONES, winners of last season’s Dan Duffy Trophy, the NBF club championship which qualified them for this year’s EBF Durham Centenary Trophy, fell at their first hurdle.
They were beaten away to twice winners Royal Mail Cart, the Lincs champions from Spalding who are now through to the southern section semi-finals.
Blackstones begin their defence of the Dan Duffy Trophy next Thursday (July 9), ironically away to last year’s Durham Centenary winners Parkway in a repeat of last year’s county final.
