Stoke Fleming Bowls Club were away to Chudleigh last Saturday.

Chudleigh had been promoted from Division 2 last year, and were eager to show why, but Stoke were up to the challenge, and came home with 12 points.

Simon Bennett's rink had a flying start, and were 10 - 1 up after five ends. Tracey Moore came in as number 3 to Paul Lobb, whose rink went on to win comfortably.

Andy Pound’s four, had a very close game, but managed to hang on and win. Mike Hyne’s team could not maintain last week's showing and unfortunately lost, but overall a good result for Stoke.
