Gavin Fulton had a tough opponent in Malcolm Mitchell whose business like style has been compared to banging in nails. 2 down and a big comeback won Gavin the 3rd. Another comeback mounted in the 4th, but Malcolm finished the job for Hatton 3-1.
Allan Wallace went to 5 and took it 9-7. Nail biting stuff.
Mark Dutton has greatly improved reach this week thanks to new diving pants taking him to 5, but closed out a convincing 9-2 against Alan Love.
Ali G and John Gordon's 'battle of the elastics' went to the slightly stretchier Grange man in 3.
Duncan Walker went 2 up, but was left wondering what on earth he had to do to win a third from Nick Tinning whose court position and anticipation were awesome and ability to tuck the ball away low was endless. Dogged determination was the answer, 9-6 to Duncan.
Overall 4-1 to Grange. Could easily have been 1-4 but for the tenacity of Dutton, Wallace and Walker in 5 setters.
36 points to 22 since it's a double header. A major boost up the table for Grange 3.
