Over 40's Handicap Final - Sun Mar 18

The Over-40s saw some heated competition over the last few weeks, culminating in Donna Cruickshank getting through to the final against Christy.
A few hardy souls turned up on the balcony but as the drama unfolded, only the most ardent supporters could withstand the tension...
Christy struck first blood to take game 1. Then Donna's handicap ratcheted up 2 points, she hit a few backhand boasts that rolled out of the nick to take the second. A massive rally in the third saw Donna draw Christy in with a hold, only to flick it long and out of reach: 2-1 Donna. Christy screwed the nut with some trickle boasts to take the fourth.
Donna in turn got her nose in front in the fifth and from 14-9 up, she won the match with a clinging forehand drop from the back.
A clean sporting match with super reffing from the outgoing competitions secretary, Mr Peter Young. Donna collected her 5th Titan racket from competitions, since joining the club.
