Thirds home v Dalgety Bay 3 (Thu, Feb 9,07)

We welcomed Tim Hannay into the 3's for his debut and were rewarded with a fiercesome tussle between Tim and Scott in the number 5 slot, neither of whom fancied calling any of the available let or stroke options and hence a good slug-out ensued! Our man came out victorious in straight sets - Well done Tim and welcome! (3-0)

John G hit a vein of form to close out Doug (who Robin will remember well from the first half as being the one who ended his season! ) in 3; the third going to 10 before John polished it off. (3-0)

Stephen Davey went on at number 3 hoping to claim the bonus points but Paul was a canny and tricky opponent and despite Stephen pulling the 2nd game back to level at 1-1, Paul had just enough experience and cunning to take the next 2 (3-9 4-9) (1-3)

Peter Young deserves a medal for marking a game, then preparing the food and finally stepping on to court against Sandy in the 2nd string match and dominating the match to eventually secure the bonus points (9-4, 9-6 & 9-6) (3-0)

With the pressure off Tweedster could relax in the 1st string game against Ken Maitland and managed to scoop up 3 without concession (9-4, 9-0 & 9-2) (3-0).
Overall a 41, 16 - 3 win to put some points on the board and that hopefully keeps us consolidated in mid-table mediocrity! Man of the match: Peter Young (almost as good as a medal)
