A very local derby!

The first match of the Level Play 5 + League was played on Wednesday 15th May between the club’s A-Team and the club’s B Team. The weather was ideal allowing both teams to enjoy a very close fought match. The A-Team started well and was ahead by 5 games to 3 after the first 2 rounds. But by lunchtime, the B team had pulled back to make it 6 all. After lunch, the teams took it in turns  to win alternate  games resulting in a 10 all draw. The Top players in the A team were  Robin Oldland and Phil Hendy, both losing only one of their games. In the B Team Charles was top man winning all of his singles games.

Here’s a tense moment in the game where Trish can’t bear to watch

“Ref”!

BEFORE : Jill takes careful aim to clear red.

AFTER : Oh dear! Red is still there – we all know that feeling.
