Tough, close matches against the Sports Club. Sadly they took 3 out of 5.
Pete Cockburn gallantly played mini league match followed by team match against Chris Milne at 5. A big effort by Pete, but by the fifth, this was to Chris's advantage and he took it from us 3-2.
At 4, Stokesy had 4 match points in the 4th. Les Wilson clung to win 3-2.
Al lost 3-0 to Shane Presley at 3 and should have stayed at home until properly recovered from illness.
Our no.s 1 and 2 did the winning, with Will Kerr playing a fine game to beat Andrew "Slasher" Snowden 3-0.
And at 1, Mike Hall's debut appearance for Grange surprised a few people, not least his opponent JJ Tait, who was truly psyched. Tremendous pace and accuracy, plus some devious serving. 3-1.
There was great support on the balcony from both teams, plus Looby, Langley, Frame, Pollock, Marshall, and more.
Two and a half pints later, JJ had recovered from crushing defeat, his spirits riding high once more, Stokesy had put those harsh (but correct) reffing decisions behind him, Mike Hall turned out to be a lager drinker (perhaps that's the secret) and we recorded a season record on the bar tab.
These guys were beatable. Next half we'll have them AND drink their bar dry.
