Away at Brookside.

6.15 pm Vic recievcd a call from Brookside to find out where our hall was!!! The Brookside team were searching Quarndon. HELP the match should be at Brookside. Emergency calls around our team saw us all at Quarndon. Brookside had "cocked it" up!! It was their home game. After  some discussion the mass convoy of cars went to Long Eaton. and the match got underway on time at 7.30 pm.       Phew !!!
 Games 1 and 2 went well Mark & Jed winning 42/30 and Vic & Paul winning in 3 -- 59/56.
Mark and Jed followed this up with two  3 "setters" narrowly losing the deciding games 19 & 17.
Vic & Paul had an awful game against Brookside 3rd pair losing 42/15 but redeemed themselves with a final 3 set winner 59/56.  
Scott  & Simon, while losing their first game came back with a great win 42/23 and narrowly lost a hard fought  3 "setter" with one game going to 24/22

So overall we played 23 games  losing 4/5 in games 428/405 points. Not a crushing defeat.

In the early confusion camera misplaced so photos to follow.
