Orange Squash, Choc chip cookies, cherry bakewells and mini choc rolls – that was probably the highlight of the evening and I think Quarndon can be proud of clearly winning this event.

As to the badminton –

The sports hall was cooler than expected which was to our advantage but the newly painted light green walls and new overhead lights were not.

Mel and Mark opened the batting while Jackie & Adam went on court 2. Unfortunately after those 2 games we were down to one court until 9.30.

I would like to report a QBC victory but although many games were close, that was not to be and the result was Brookside 8 Quarndon the rest.

Honour was saved by the Redsell contingent winning one game and but for Mel having an attack of cramp they would surely have one a 2^nd.

Proof of the games being close was the sad fact that it was almost 10.30 when chauffeur Jackie kindly drove us home and too late to lick our wounds at the Markeaton.

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!!!!!!

Rachel and Vic also had an  impressive start  losing their first game 22-20 but coming back to take it  to 3 games only to lose. BUT another 3 games Rubber they won to take the match to a decider. (138-145 points)

Paul & Jackie regretably smiled and made up the numbers losing 6 games. (75-126 points)

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!

Mixed Match 10th January 2011

 Vic & Jackie 1-2                                      Mark & Mel 3-0                        Rachel & Adam 0-3-
