Firsts away v Edinburgh Sports Club 4 (Fri 29.02.08)

Away to the Sports Club - with Perring and Mair missing, the team did well.

Pete Cockburn was neck and neck with Paul Atkinson, but nudged ahead each time, 3-0.
Dougie lost out 8-10 in the fifth against Bruce Johnstone.
Christy lost beat Chris Milne 3-0.
Al beat Rodd Binns in 5 - a long close match.
But battle of the night was Chris Mair v JJ Tait. JJ displayed Sinclair ability to last out - from appearing dead on his feet in the 2nd he went late into the night and stole it in the 5th.

Overall 3-2, 18-10 on points.

Man of the match: Pete Cockburn. Neck and neck, rally after rally, but pulled ahead each time. Consistent stuff.

And for those still standing, chicken curry for tea.

I must say, that was the most enjoyable team night I've had in a long time.

The warm up act was a classic 5 setter between Bruce and Dougie. Then the main show-
Chris playing straight man to JJ and his banter during the first string match.

The curry was volumnious and the craic in the bar afterwards was mighty, JJ crowing to Bruce about being winners on the night, the other 3 pinging him right back about "one swallow does not a summer make" and so forth. Priceless.

Are the best matches always the away ones against the clubs from where you can walk home?
