ADAMS END ON LOSING NOTE

THE NBF’s Adams Trophy team ended their championship campaign with their heaviest defeat of the season – 199-145 at the hands of Lincolnshire at Blackstones.

Their only other defeats of the season were by the slender margins of one shot and three shots, so this reverse was a little out of character.

They collected just five points with wins for the rinks of Roger Martin (36-32) and Kevin Vinter (32-22) and a draw for Adam Warrington’s trio.
