Firsts home v Watsonians 3 (Tues 19.02.08)

A good contest, but we lost this one. Bad news is it will take a minor miracle to beat Colinton after that. Good news is that we have secured second placed and promotion to Division 2.

Stokesy, who made as much work for the referee as his opponent, Mike Callaghan, won 3-2.
Gerald, went down 2-3 to Ed Murray.
Christy had a frustrating time with Jim trickle boast Dougal 1-3.
Al had a good shot at Ali Carruth, but got nothing, 0-3.
Man of the match Mike Perring played a steady game against Mike Sinclair, 3-2.

Overall 2-3, 11-17 on points.

Franco did food. Closing balance for subs is £24.15. Suggestions so far are a) team night out on the town with Stokesy or b) reinvest into a crash course in drop shots for Chris Mair.

Man of the match: Mike P - the trusted Perring formula combined with some good speed around the court did the trick! And he is expecting a baby - apparently this was announced a fortnight ago, but I hadn't quite realised the full magnitude of what he had said. Congratulations to all concerned. That's going to be tough with the division 2 training regime!

Sounds like a good, close match.

I've not seen either team play recently. Who played at what position?

I need to start thinking about seeding for this year's Watsonian championships.

And well done on the promotion for the second year running.

There must be something in the food.

Mike S at no 1, Ali C at 2, Jim D at 3, Ed M at 4 and Mike C at 5.

Looks like Watsons 3s could be coming up with us.
