Seconds @ Edin Uni Studs (Thu, Feb 14, '08)

The students we're pretty hot ...at least the ones I saw playing before having to be called in to work just as my own match completed.

Doug Browne at No 2: Played well but was always under the hammer from a very skilled and quick opponent. Quite a few points per game but the opponent always had another gear in store. 0-3.
Pete Cockburn at No 3: Poor sod had no chance at all against a very good player. The casual observer of a few rallies at a time would have seen a quite even-looking contest and would have been very surprised to be told it was 0-9, 0-9 to start with. The third game was once again very well contested but a sole point was the only reward. Nothing at all wrong with Pete's play....just totally outclassed by a good'un.
Mark Dutton at No 5: Consolidated the recent return to winning form with a very solid win against another very good young, fit opponent. Hard fought first game taken 10-9 but then against any casual observer's expectation it was the student who wilted and Mark ran out 9-2, 9-0 for a 3-0 win.
Kevin Roberts at No 1: .....didn't see any of it....think he lost the first game..
Iain Sinclair at No 4: Iain was unluck to lose the first game. An unfortunately missed double bounce would have given it to him. .....didn;t see any more...

We were playing next to the new gym facility they've built for the students.
...never seen so many sweating and scantily clad young ladies in one place at one time before... t'was also the general concensus of opinion from the other chaps. (seems to concur with Richard's comments)
