Tonight's games lifted the spirits a little after last week's hammering by Dalgety Bay. But our rivals ESC and Mammas won't drop any points against these guys, so we couldn't afford to either. Or as Stokesy observed "If we don't take 20 points here we deserve a good kicking..."
Centre stage with Vince Dobbin, Stokesy dominated and opened the score line with 9-0. It was something of a surprise then to run to five games, and by this point things may not have appeared in total control to the untrained eye. Point no. 20 was looking shakey for a moment, but Stokesy knew it was never in doubt and bagged it 3-2.
The rest of us all won 3-0. Dougie played Russell Hobson, who had a 2-3 marathon with Christy last half. Al played Bruce Davies. Robert played Christina Graham - some superb rallies here. And Mike played a solid game at no. 1 against Mark Rotton.
Thereafter we retired to the committe room with table service by Franco.
Overall 5-0 (20-4 on points).
Next week we have a bye, so will be down for training. More work on drop shots needed - 8.30 Tuesday.

"rivals ESC and Mammas"
Rivals for what?
Relegation. Avoiding the drop. A fate worse than death.
