Peter Tweedie also doubled up from the 3rd team this week at #4. He must have played some fighting battle because it went to 5 and our man shaded it; 3-2.
Peter Cockburn found himself at the lofty heights of #2- he lost the first to Derek Wilson and in the second he started to get on top but it went to 8-8 and 8-10. Derek was winning the backhand rallies and closed out the third; 0-3.
Jonathan Frame made his seconds debut at #3 with a slow start to go 1 down. He lifted the pace and a long second saw Bob puffing to take game ball and out on his feet. Jonathan took the third to love and cantered the last 2 games; 3-2.
The bonus points were up for grabs between the #1's- John Simpson took the first, Christy blasted the second but as the medical doctor slowed the pace, the electronic doctor was found out; 1-3.
Overall 2-3, 8-15 Not too bad points considering we got 11 at home against them with a full team. Man of the match: Tweedie/Frame - the reserves contributed the bulk of the points.

Abercorn are creeping up on us...
Linlithgow 2.....15 played 217
Bank of Scotland.14 played 209
Grange 2.........15 played 201
Abercorn 2.......15 played 190
We might need 14 points out of each of the 3 remaining matches to make sure we still go up.
You'll need more than 14 points from your matches against Linlithgow and C-Rooks 2 to make up for the 0 (zero) points you get on Tuesday 13th March.
The mighty Watsonian 4s are making a remarkable push to avoid relegation. It was meant to start last week but we only had four players due to a bit of a mix up, so will have to start this week.

We're now at 213 points because C-Rooks were found to have selected a team-tied player from their seconds at #2 on their firsts - so we are awarded 3-0 from #2 down and an 8-15 result on the court has been transformed into a 16-3 result in court ;-)
Bad luck on C-Rooks 1 who are now in a relegation dogfight - I'd be happy to offer a re-match with a legal line-up. And believe me, I take no pleasure in it- I too had points docked off me in my first year as captain so I know how empty it makes you feel.
