Just a short blog this week as the 20-0 scoreline says pretty much all that's needed. Everybody played very well on the night in the arctic conditions that prevail inside the St George's courts and comfortably accounted for their opposite numbers.
At no 5 our debutante Richard van Lienden had a slowish start against A. Murphy but was well on top by the end of the first game and gave away very few points in the second and third. 3-0.
At no 4 Mark Dutton likewise had a hard fought first game against N. Black but some good drops and length were sufficient to dominate the next two games. 3-0.
At no 3 Pete Cockburn was untroubled in dispatching R Baty 3-0.
At No 2 Christy Looby gave away only one point in the first two games against D. Wiessengerber and ran to 8-0 up in the third before his conscience got the better of him and he eased off the gas to save his opponents blushes. Nice guys very nearly finished last in the sense that Mr Wiessengerber chose that moment to reel off a series of excellent winners combined with some pretty ropey ones and suddenly Chrisy found himself 8-9 down. A couple of nervous handouts followed with Christy finally managing to save his own blushes. 3-0
Patrick Langley ran into the sternest opposition of the night at No 1 against the rapidly improving Graham Jones. He took a very tight first game 10-9 and followed that up by increasing dominance of the next two to run out 3-0.
A great result for us in our mission to claim second spot.
