Thirds @ Dunbar (Thurs, 30/11/06)

A difficult night at windswept Dunbar tonight.

Chris Molyneaux and Ian Mitchell came on first. Mitch started slowly against Willie losing the first but came back well after finding good length in the second and third. Willie kept it tight in game four with Mitch taking a breather and went on to close out the fifth.

Chris was up against a loud and hard hitting opponent but took the first well with his fitness. The Dunbar man, whilst short was not lacking in aggression. He edged out the next couple of closely fought games, before Chris came back strongly in the fourth to take the match into a decider. Alas, the Dunbar man took the fifth.

Peter Cockburn took a good first game against Phil at #1 and was 8-6 in the second. But the Phil's clever boasts and experience of the bouncy courts meant he took control to win the match 3:1.

Alasdair Gormly put in a gallant effort against their number 5 who was late turning up. Alasdair looked like he might go home pointless. However he fought back well in the third to edge it but ran out of steam to lose in four.

Pete Young was up against Duncan at #2 but whilst he put up resistence in games 1 and 2 briefly holding leads he lost out in 3 to come home pointless.

All in all a tough night against a strong team 18:6. Well done to our subs for fulfilling the fixture and hopefully you enjoyed your games.

Man of the match: Willie Paul (Dunbar)
