Seniors Seal Play Off Place
Well the lads went into the last group game of the Midland Seniors League needing four points or two winning rinks out of the six to top the group and qualify for the playoff final against the winners of the southern group.
It was our old foes Yorkshire who made the trip to Darlington, the latter needed 19 points to overtake the lads.
A good number of supporters made it a cracking little atmosphere which spurred the lads on to a comprehensive 145-75 win which saw us win on five of the six rinks.
The lads now qualify for the play off final against the winners of the southern group Northamptonshire at Nottingham 14th March.
