Ladies home v David LLoyd (Mon 20/11/06)

The Ladies played host to David Lloyd this week. Jo Petty played well at 5 but this wasn't reflected in the score. Her opponent was young and inexperienced but had some fine coached shots which she put to good use. Not your typical number 5 sort of player. 3: 0 to DL.

Jules played at 4 and came up against a similar player to herself but who couldn't run nearly as well as Jules. Jules held out to win in 3, much to the frustration of her opponent. 3: 0 to Grange.

Jo Loudon met her old PE teacher at 3, both of them were south paws, so they only confused each other. After getting over the embarrassment of having to play her former teacher, Jo quickly got down to business. No respecter of age, Jo won 3: 0. She had to be in work for 9pm.

Sheila played at 2 and either had a bad day at work or an energy surge shortly before her game. She won two games 10 - 9 and so had no intention of losing the match. 3: 1 to Grange.

Gil played at 1. Well, played the part of Sacrificial Lamb. She tried to award the game to her opponent Elaine Inglis before the end of the third game. That kind of sums up what she thought of her game. 3: 0 to DL.

Final score 3-2 (Points 14 : 7) to us. Supper was very pleasant - the fresh cream + strawberry meringues were fab. Next week we are home to Watsonians.
