DONINGTON have started the Division One season with three straight wins.

Aubrey Bristow's side last week thumped Bourne Town A 6-0 on their own green.

The home side followed Whaplode Drove A and reigning champions Castle A on the growing list of teams already beaten by Donington.

Only one rink at Bourne was tight, John Needham, N Thorpe and M Liadlar edging home by one shot against Peter Dimbleby, Peter Tory and A Burton.

But Oscar Timm, T Stanley and T Williams had a thumping 34-13 for Donington.

Castle's depleted squad look as though they can only hope for any sort of tilt at retaining their title.

A 6-0 (92-54) loss at Whaplode Drove A makes it three straight defeats.

Bottom of the pile, though, are BSC, who were well beaten at Billingborough. Their solitary point came from Rod Quinton, David Turner and A Searle.

Division Two

Bicker cemented their promising start to the season with a fourth win on the trot. Holbeach USC shared the rinks with the league leaders, who took the aggregate points thanks to a 83-75 shots score and remain the only unbeaten side in the division.

Ayscoughfee A felt the backlash from Consti A's first defeat of the season.

They are almost propping up the division after taking a 6-0 (89-51) hiding.

Division Three

Goodfellowship will hope this column doesn't highlight any good form again too soon.

They went to Carter's Park B having taken 22 points out of possible 24 – and were promptly hammered 6-0.

Terry Crane's Holbeach side ran in a marvellous 106 shots, conceding just 49.

It lifted his side into second place, just a point behind the team they beat.

Moulton Harrox B started the season with two defeats, but are beginning to turn the corner. They inflicted a first defeat on Swineshead, winning 82-68 to take the all-important aggregate points after sharing the rinks.

Division Four

Sutton Bridge C are up to second spot after a 4.5-1.5 win at neighbours Long Sutton B, whose sole success came from Joan Bramwell with Alf Sampson and Albert Coles.

Richard Hayden's set halved with Roger Lidgard's Sutton Bridge trio.
