The men eased to a convincing 82-51 victory over county rivals West Berks in the Denny Cup with telling contributions coming from each of their rinks.

They’ll play Westlecot in the next round.

There was a similarly strong display for the women against a strong Whiteknights side in the Yetton Trophy.
