Seconds Home vs Tyne 14th Dec

Third time I've tried to add this blog....apologies if anybody was keenly awaiting...will check this time to see if it actually "sticks"...

A better result for the seconds this time after a long string of heavy defeats...better but still no coconut.

A brilliant start for us with a 3-0 win at #5 for super-sub Tim Hinnay. OK...it was against an opponent called Walk Over ....but a rare and valuable win nonetheless.

Things continued in that vein with Doug Browne recording a very comfortable 3-0 victory against Jerry Ireson at #4. Not a lot of sweat broken for Dougie who never really had to get out of second gear.

Pete Cockburn at #3 started out 0-7 down quick-smart against Stuart Faulkner in the first game and it was looking like a damn good thrashing was impending, but then normality returned and a tight struggle ensued with Pete just being edged out 2-3 in the end.

Alan Stokes at #2 played a good controlled game against Jon Booth but John had a bit too much in the end to leave Alan down at 1-3.

It was left up to Mark Dutton at #1 to play the big captain's innings and give the team their first win in many weeks. Errr..yeah....ok. Donald Smith was way to quick and agile all round and despite some resistance in the second game there was never much doubt as to the outcome. 0-3 (again...)

Final result...Tyne 2 beat Grange 2 by 12 pts to 9.
