Ladies v Heath A
THERE WAS ONLY ONE CERTAINTY ABOUT LAST NIGHTS LADIES GAME – HELEN CREED WAS TURNING UP SO SHE WAS BOUND TO MESS UP THE SCORESHEET – SUFFICE TO SAY SHE DIDN’T DISAPPOINT!
Great to see you Hel and thanks for your support – but would rather see you with a racquet in your hand than a scoresheet.
Meanwhile back on the court we were only able to field two pairs so things didn’t look good from the start. However …
With Captain Jayne sacrificing herself to annoy the men who turned up at club night – Al & Sarah paired up as first pair and despite not having played together for sometime they managed to win all three of their games. All games being very close and very tiring!
Sandra & Rachel (who were on a roll from the previous match) had beaten their second pair and lost to the firsts… and so to the decider. At 4 all and with the crowds cheering from the sidelines (there were at least 6 of us) it went to a third game. Unfortunately a victory could not be secured as the girls lost 23 – 21.
So close but yet so far. Well done to everyone. With the wind in the right direction and a full team things might have been different. Never mind return leg to come so there is hope yet of a first win of the season.
PS. Anyway off the pub – and the one night Glyn is not there a nice assortment of cakes. They would have gone nicely with his cup of cocoa!
