Sleights beat Marske away last Saturday in the first leg for the Ellie Hillyard Trophy and took a lead of 19 into the home game later in the season.
The following day, 19 teams took part in the Captains Pairs Competition.
This is a knockout competition where players choose their own partners and it is played over nine ends with four woods each.
Among the many excellent first round games, Terry Bogg and Terry Reid beat Mick Dean and James Bedford. Roly and Eileen Clark beat Colin Gray and Joyce Blythman.
John and Jean Moore beat Eddie and Lucy White, and Steve Harrison and Eric Sanderson beat Ian and Pat Harrison.
In the semi finals, club captain Steve Harrison and Eric Sanderson beat John Pybus and Mary Swalwell while Benny and Freda Lawson beat John and Jean Moore.
The final was played in light rain and it was Benny and Freda who appeared to cope slightly better with these conditions, with Freda getting her woods near the jack on even the longest of ends.
It was a close game, but the husband and wife team of Benny and Freda Lawson were popular winners.
