The National Competitions are underway for the season and Desborough’s Men took on Loddon Vale in the Denny Cup.
Due to a major competition taking place at Green Lane, Desborough played all four of their rinks at Basingstoke, however, home comforts weren’t needed as they won on all of the rinks.
A special mention must go to the rink skipped by Mark Peachey who trailed at one stage but 23 unanswered points meant they coasted to a 30-10 victory.
Desborough now play Chawton Park in the next round.
