Waverley have 2 teams in this division, which is handicap enough. Tonight we faced their 4th's, aground at the bottom of the division. We had to get max points to help lift ourselves out of the shallows just above them.
At #5, welcome back Dougie Brown who was too strong for leftie Brian Scott in the first two. The third was a stern test with Dougie shading it 9-7: 3-0.
At #4, Andy Whitelaw faced Mike Gibson who is the deadliest drop merchant I've ever seen... luckily the Accies courts were quite warm and Andy only conceded 14 points in the match: 3-0.
At #3, Gavin Fulton had a smack-fest with Neil Kempsell... and got smacked out of it in the first game. 
Gavin stopped smacking the tin and blitzed Neil in the next two. A 4th game battle ensued, with Gavin shading it 9-7: 3-1.

Jonathan had had his weetabix and was up for it, urging John to go short so that the could gobble up the yards and put it away. Conceded only 7 points despite John doing everything to resist the whitewash: 3-0.
At #1, Christy grannied Peter Cochrane in the first, Peter is a better player than that and contested the next two with some great backhand drops and forehand volleys. Still, 3-0. Overall 20-3.
If Mark Dutton had played, I'd now have a long paragraph about a dive here, a corkscrew there, a nice french winery anon... but you'll have to read the 3's report for your weekly fix on Duttonism's this week ;-)
Man of the Match goes to Neil Kempsell for salvaging a point of pride for Waverley. A good team effort from the workmanlike home players. Baked tatties from Spud-U-Like back in the committee room, toppings were as varied as cheese & beans, tuna & sweetcorn, prawns or haggis on Burns night! Plus choccy bars for desert. There was one bit of innuendo banter between Jonathan and Dougie which was hilarious but I can't recall it just now. Plus the sacking of Andy Gray on Sky came in for analysis. The Burns supper downstairs was remarkably quiet in Waverley's view, quiet as (to) a mouse.

Come on Loob. You can do better than this.
What sort of choccy bars were there?
And how many did you eat?
Kit-kat, Crunchies & Maltesers. I polished off what was left. Plus I amazed Dougie by having a Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger beer.
Fantastic!!!!!!
You're going down a slippery slope now.
No, I've already fallen off it. I drunk one last night... and I was 3 sheets to the wind.
Back to teetotalism for another 20 years.
thanks for the mention, christy. A good win for the guys. See you at the start of March. Mark D
