Grange I v Edinburgh Uni Students II (Wed, 17.01.07)

A good start to the second half tonight. And a great improvement on our 6-18 first half result against the students.

Stokesy beat Ivar Kurtis 3-0.
Dougie beat Matt Boyce, who had to concede after 2 games with an injury, 3-0.
Al beat Dominic Prittie 3-1.
Mike beat Peter Brierey 3-0.
and Allan beat Stuart Tennant 3-0.

Man of the match has to go to Mike (I trust you are in agreement Christy) for his sizzling performance in the kitchen. It's bad news for Franco - Mike's chilli sets the standard for our home games from now on.

Overall 5-0 (18-1 on points).


At the end of the first half we were placed 3rd, but there are 7 out of the 10 teams in the race for promotion!

Watsonians 3......................................... 130
Marco's Leisure 2.................................... 118
Grange 1............................................. 115
CCSC-MUS............................................. 114
Edinburgh University Students 2............ 112
Waverley 2........................................... 108
Hatton............................................... 101
Tyne 2............................................... 65
Dean................................................. 62
Dalgety Bay 2........................................ 36

Tonight's result will be a big hit for the students, and max points for Grange.

It was a tough week all round for the students. Their first team lost 5-0 to the Watsonian firsts in division one. They were missing several of their top players by all accounts, which would have a knock-on effect for their second team.

However, we all have weeks when it's a real struggle to get five bodies on court. As the floppy firsts from Myreside say, any win will do.

There are unconfirmed rumours coming out of Myreside this evening that the WTN3 juggernaut's wheels are coming off in spectacular fashion.

A 4-17 loss away to Marcos 2 on Friday caused by injuries and a lack of form has dragged the division's front runners back into the chasing pack.

Harsh words have been exchanged in the changing room. Some players have been accused of "not picking up a racket since the last match".

More is certain to emerge soon.
