​Budleigh Otters achieved their second win of the season in the Over 60 Triples league taking all 8 points against Marina (Dawlish) as they tried to dodge the heavy showers on Wednesday.
Terry Flynn, Andy Cardy and David Roberts kept their cool to finish strongly whilst Peter Foreman, Norman Upchurch and Peter Cooper were unable to complete the last end due to a heavy downpour but ran out winners to keep the Otters in contention at the top of division 3.
