Desborough beat visitors Burnham

Desborough welcomed Burnham to Green Lane for a four-rink triples match this week and won by 15 shots (61-46).

The visitors took a while to get the hang of the green and Desborough took full advantage, winning on three of the four rinks, with the rink skipped by Eric Sharp and John Davis returning winning scorecard. There was no doubting the top rink, though, as Dawn Davis, Steve Isaac and Nicola Jones won 19 -6.

In the Kennet League, Desborough’s A team gained only three of the 14 points available against Suttons A while the B side scraped a 10 – 4 victory at Twyford, which means they are promoted to Division 2 East as champions.

The A team travelled to Wraysbury in the KLV and suffered an 8 – 2 defeat while the B team went to Sunningdale and won 8 – 2, ensuring their promotion to Division 1 East as champions. The C team left themselves with a chance of promotion as they won 6 – 4 against Windsor & Eton B and now wait on the results in the last round of games.

Desborough’s Ladies went to Windsor and Eton in the Royal Shield and enjoyed an 8 – 2 victory. The Bluebells also won 8 – 2 against neighbours Maidenhead Town.

The only interest Desborough has in the county competitions is the Men’s 2 Wood Champion of Champions where Mark Peachey triumphed 15 – 12 over an opponent from Hagbourne. He now faces Barry Williams from Thatcham at Caversham on 12 August.
