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.
