GRG2 Vs Edinburgh Uni 1 (18 Jan 2012)

The 2s were back on the road this week up against the Edinburgh Uni 1st team who are currently flying very high in Div 2 in comparison to our lowly standing at second bottom. None of us were expecting any sort of upset tonight, having said that we were up for it as we definitely has our strongest team of the season so far.

Gordy Sloan was on first at number 5 against Alex Iveson. Both players were evenly matched and played very similar games. The first 2 games were shared and looked like it could go either way however Alex showed real determination and went up a few gears to make sure he kept Gordy at bay. 3-1 to uni.

Robin Steel was on at 4 versus Zahan. When I arrived both were having a wee knock up. When Robin found out that this guy was going to be his opponent he was less than impressed! From what I hear Robin stuck in and worked hard. Unfortunately not enough against an opponent of this level.

Ian Forbes at three was in a similar boat to Robin playing against Tom Metcalf. Another very handy individual meaning the result was only going to go one way.

At 1 and 2 was myself and the returning Duncan Walker. Dunc gave a good account of himself at 1 against Nick Roberts getting to 8-8 at one point so I was told.
Myself at 2 against nasty Nigel narrowly avoided the triple bagel. Nuff said!!

All in all a solid beating was taken, but we took it well! We hit vodka revolution afterwards where Gordy and I attempted to re-live our youth! God knows what would have happened if we didn’t “have the car”, “have to get up in the morning” or had been 10 years younger!! Great food (best of the season). Plenty of room for my burger after my 2 bagels – Yum!
