Spalding Indoor Bowls Club’s talented national mixed team progressed to the third round of the Egham Trophy on Sunday.
They booked a clash with Barwell in the next round by seeing off rivals Peterborough in comfortable fashion, winning on all four rinks.
The tone was set early when, at five ends, Spalding had already opened up a 34-7 lead.
That was extended to 60-18 at ten ends, before Peterborough conceded when the score was 98-36.
Spalding won on all four rinks but the main damage was done by one of their away rinks. That was skipped by Kevin Ekins, with Lauren Finbow, Karen Martin and Andy Dunham.
They had an extremely strong second half to the game which consisted of collecting two counts of six and a seven, before returning a winning scorecard of 38-6.
