This excellent result against the merged Sharks team (Enderby and Lutterworth and District) was a fantastic result and meant that the DDSC are currently in seventh position in the league.
The next round which will feature the top eight clubs will be on Saturday (December 8) at the Braunstone Leisure Centre, Leicester, when the team will hopefully be pushing for a top six finish.
