GRG2 vs TYN1 - 19 March 2014

GRG2 vs TYN1
>
> The last game of the season saw GRG2 trot out trusted war horses and salty veterans of the ESSA scene, Whitelaw (4), Stokes (5) and Gore (1) - and for looks and charm field youngsters Kerrin (3) and Wallace (2).

> *         At  2nd string, Young Wallace took the first 2 games easily only to lose the next 2.  Veteran Stokes has a word after the 4th and shares pearls of wisdom.  Wallace adopts and closes the match out 3-2.
>
> *         Kerrin at 3rd string plays Donald With The Beard and closes him out 3-1.  Didn't see much but having played Donald in the past he is fast and awkward and worst of all a really nice guy.  Aoife persevered to close out producing some lovely volleys in the final stages.
>
> *         Whitelaw vs. Graham the Robot produced some astonishing and dangerous rallies which was fun to watch.  Crazy and unbalanced stuff at times but Whitelaw triumphs 3-1 when he switches his game to shot-making rather than keeping up with a much fitter opponent.
>
> *         Heated dialogue and ranting leads me to believe Captain Gore has stepped onto the court as 1st string against Alan...With More Grey Hair Than Mike.  I didn't see any of this but Mike clinches a valuable game from Alan who I remember is a nightmare to read and much fitter than his frame suggests, losing 3-1.
>
> *         David and Goliath battle next as Stokes plays Waldermar.  Stokes customarily does not try in the least, losing first 2 games, but tempts us all by stripping off one item of clothing per game.  It is a fine thing it is the best of 5 games.  Stokes takes 3rd, 4th and 5th games to win.

> GRG 4 matches vs TYN 1

> GRG2 secures their position in Div 3.  That's it for this season!
