Luffenham’s giant-killing
NORTH Luffenham pulled off a giant-killing act in beating a strong Stoke Rochford team in the Mail on Sunday national knock-out competition.
Alan Swindley started the match with an impressive half against an opponent who was playing off a handicap of 2. Peter Barker then followed on with an equally impressive 2&1 victory.
New club captain, Dave Wildman, then lost his match 4&3, leaving the tie all square with two to play.
Tom Little and Gordon Knox both had brilliant wins, each of them finishing one up, to leave North Luffenham winners by 3.5 to 1.5.
The next round is against Belton Park and will be played at North Luffenham.
