Vic Hoad advices a narrow 5-4 defeat against Ripley in "non-quarndon" conditions .He and Rachel having won thier first Rubber then lost the next two due to heat exhaustion.!!. Mark & Mel picked up two , while Adam & Jackie picked up the other. With two courts from 8.30 pm the match was over by 10.00 p.m.
Vic reckoned that having to shower and change after each rubber due to the heat was a definite disadvantage. Hey ho!!!! they should be at Quarndon in January next year.

Mens Match ... the last of the season
Vic Hoad writes:-
The Nook won 5-4; (13 games to 8 and 396 aces to 317). Our team Mark & Adam; Vic & Dean (AKA John MacIntyre); Sandy & Vince. Mark & Adam played the best I have seen them play in a match and really worked well as a pair. Vic & Dean took the first rubber to work out how to play together (Dean being left handed and Vic being forgetful) but won their next rubber after a hard fight 21:15, 18:21, 22:24. Sandy & Vince also had an endless rubber against 1 pair narrowly losing 21:10, 19:21, 21:15. Refreshments of orange squash & Jaffa cakes offered late on. All in all an enjoyable evening and look forward to beating them at our place next season. Recuperating now before tonight's final mixed of the season at Ripley.
