John Graham kicked us off at No 5 against Chris and after swapping games in the first 2, closed chris out in games 4 and 5 to give us the ideal start (3-1).
Peter Young had a marathon tussle (not his first of the year) against Mark at 4; taking the first 2 tight games before losing games 3 & 4 to set up a nail-biter of a fifth which Pete secured (3-2) .
Tim had a similar scenario with Christine Graham, taking the first 2 (the first to love) before Christine sussed the Naulty serve and clawed back the next 2. The stage was set for a fitting finale but Tim had spent all his reserves and Christine dropped and boasted her way to the fifth. (2-3).
Sadly the no 2 and no1 (the Bernard and Derick double act) were too much for the Tweedster and Pete Cockburn to handle and both struggled generally on the points tally although they both put in performances which spared any blushes but no points and no prizes.(0-3 & 0-3).
A defeat to one of the other high flighers in the league is a bit of a disappointment (8 - 15) (Oh Tim --- if only you had got that 3rd or 5th game!) but no disrespect.
I do feel old enough on Court but it is really rubbed in out there though when you are leaving the Students Union at 11.00pm to head home to your bed and the students seemed to be just emerging to the Union for the start of their evening!
The Tweedster
Man of the Match: Peter Young (still unbeaten)
