Grange I @ Dean (Wed, 07.02.07)

With Dean 2nd from bottom in the league, and with our rivals for promotion taking 15, 16 and 17 points off them in the first half, the pressure was on Grange 1 to secure good points tonight.

Dougie was was confined to the balcony with a numb leg, but it was good to have a non-playing supporter! Let's hope the leg's OK for next week ...
Christy made a special appearance, and windmilled David Grant 3-0. The court was like a fridge.
Al had a sketchy first game, then settled in and won 3-0 against Ross Anderson.
When Allan beat Ian Walford, 3-0, murmurs of demonstration match were heard from Dean, although demonstration of what we weren't quite sure.
Meanwhile in some distant part of the Dean Club on a court like a chest freezer, Gerald was enagaged in a grudge match against his first half rival, Fraser Maxwell. News of the result came back 3-1.
Mike was in the deep freeze too, with Craig Wallace, and came out at 3-1.

Overall 5-0 (18-2 on points).

Man of the match: Gerald Suggett - for taking his revenge on away courts!

An excellent result - we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves about the 2 points. Next week it's Dalgety Bay at home, where we should aim for the same again.

Pressure continues to mount on Watsonian 3s, who were lucky to come away from Tyne with a 3-2 win.

No word on the food.

At least WTN3 got the bonus points when Myreside were struggling to get a team out, albeit against relegation fodder.
Pressure continues to mount on Marcos as Grange face the wooden-spoonists of Dalgety at our gaff next week. A feast of chill is planned to accompany our diet of maximum points.

Looking at Watsonian 3's first half result (15 points at home to Tyne), coming away with 14 in the away fixture is an excellent result.

Tonight's match at mayreside is against Dean and looks, on paper, like a home win. I've even printed off a whole load more marking sheets so we can have no excuses now. No word on the food yet, but it's veggie tomorrow evening for anyone who's coming along.
