Mens Match 31st January 2011

Another COLD COLD night.

Vic and Paul started well winning in three games and so softening up the 1st pair (2 pleasant your lads.)

 However their overall performance resulted in 1-2 ( Points 109-144)  Playing 1, 5,9 again didn't help BUT losing 16 & 18 in game 9 was "goodish"

The new pairing of two left handers of Dean and Sandy saw equally mixed results, with Dean playing his first match and Sandy winning his first game. Their final result was 1-2 (points 81-122)

 Their (Mark & John) pose for the photo goes some way to indicating the TEMPERATURE ... or lack of it. John played with a bad back and was helped by his "IBRUFIN" .. no drugs test was taken!!! Their end result was 0-3 (points 96-144) having won one game 21-18.

The end result was a loss of 7-2 and a saving on postage!!!!!!

Lost 5-4  (391 -359 points)

Mens Match 17th January

Started well with a junior and his Dad (transport) arriving. The Junior promptly got on the phone to his partner who was late!!! However, the junior was two weeks early !!! Plays for Belper and the match is on the 31st January.

 Brookside  arrived and with a brief knock up Vic & Paul started spendidly taking the first game 21-16 only to lose the next 21-3 and the 3rd 21-11..... their softening up role complete! Finally losing all 3 by the end of the evening and missing an opportunity for a 3rd set in the final game giving away a 17-20 lead to lose it 20-22 The final points were 0-3 ( Aces 84-141) 

 Mark & Adam (with a bad back) spledidly capitalised on the "softening up" to take 2 of their 3 games and plaudits from the opposition on their abilities.

However, Adam's back somewhat painful and he has felt obliged to drop out of the Mixed Match against Rolls Royce on Sunday 23rd January in the hope that all will be well for the Mens Match on 31st January.

Final Points  2-1 ( Aces  112-84)

Sandy and John (another injury) had some excellent points but joined Paul & Vic in losing all three to give a  7-2 victory to Brookside . Hopefully John's "Physio" will cure his problem.

Final points. 0-3  (  Aces 57-126)

Brookside won 7-2 ( Aces 351- 253 ) Complimenting us on the provision of traditional refreshments!
