Mens Match V Alfreton C

An early start under the new good lights against only 2 pairs from Alfreton.
What the rules say about the result we weren't sure.
In playing terms, once the opposition had availed themselves of our changing rooms, they took all 6 rubbers conceeding only 1 game to Nick & Scott.
Dean and Issac / Vic and Paul took none.
 Regret no pictures.
However the early finish allowed Dean to set up the Table Tennis table so as to allow Paul (pen holder) & Issac to thrash him and Nick  in some preliminary knock up and then to trounce them 10 /4 before Paul had to leave with Vic.  A good night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
