As the week and the season drew to a close, GRG1 took to the stage against the mighty colinton 2 up at the castle in a decider for 2nd spot in league 2. Colinton rained off the 5th string match in good time, leaving Mike Perring to come out the undisputed winner as beer taster in chief from up high on the balcony.
Chris Mair was up against stuart at 4 on a very bouncy court but managed to calm things down enough to come away the 3-1 victor. Ian Green was next up and took the second string game 3-0 before Brian Buchanan took on Hamish McLeod at 3. Brian fell to a 2-0 deficit but stepped up a gear in third and ran away with a 3-2 victory in the end.
Last match of the night was a much anticipated clash between Mark Lord and Alan Hamer. There were some epic rallies throughout the match with drives and deft touches being traded from all angles but ultimately Alan tired and Mark snitched it to come out the 3-1 winner. So the night and the season ended on a high with GRG1 doing enough to secure an 18-8 victory, second spot and to take their place in the top flight next year.............happy days. (CM)

I know this comment is in the wrong team's news, but have you guys heard anything about the divison three match between David Lloyd of Leith and the Edinburgh Sports Club 4s?

Ken M of DLL LEI responded thus:
Unfortunately we were 2 men down so only got 9 points which should be good news for dalgety bay..think ESC got 17
17 points puts ESC4 in 6th place and Grange 2 in 7th. Our last chance to stay up may come in the form of a Pearman reshuffle to 5 leagues. It will be a shame if that happens to see numbers shrinking, and I guess we won't know till after the summer.
I vote for leagues of 10.
