Andrew Owens skipped the triples to a nine shot victory and Don Bailey skipped the fours to win by the same margin.

The ladies’ singles and mixed pairs started the afternoon session, but once Jackie Ware won the singles, the opposition conceded the other games as the Saints reached the 16 points required.

St Andrews now play Torquay at home in the next round.

In the latest round of matches in the Pro Wash Open Triples, runaway leaders the Chasers suffered another reverse, this time at the hands of the Yankees, for whom Carolina Venn was in fine form.

? IN the annual Brenda Dunston Trophy at Woodspring, the men were looking to record a victory against the ladies.

The event consists of three two-hour, two-rink sessions. For the last couple of years the competition, commonly known as the battle of the sexes, has been won by the ladies.

However, this year the men triumphed by winning four of the six rinks played. All games were played with good humour and a lot of friendly banter. Thanks go to the members who organised and catered for the event.

The next big club event will be the Woodspring Challenge on March 20.

Woodspring Ladies played a friendly against Clevedon and ran out comfortable 59-15 winners.
