A big match for the seconds. Kerr, Hall and Gribben all out of action. The Sports Club wouldn't postpone, so we turned out as best we could. Super subs Van Lienden and Langley made a good dent at 4 and 5 against Gordon Sloane and captain Les Wilson, 3-0 and 3-1. Van Lienden was looking particularly tenacious, and Langley very solid. At 3, Dougie had a tough time against the deceptive Shane Presley, losing out 7-9 in the 2nd and 3rd games, 0-3. Robert recovered a 0-2 position to 2-2 against JJ Tait at 2. Both men wearing attractive headscalfs, and spending much of their time in the corners - they could easily have been mistaken for the cleaning crew. Robert ran away to 7-1 in the fifth, Grange looked set for victory, but JJ pulled off a massive come back leaving us with 2-3. Al met the mighty Leszek Stelmachowski at 1. Al battled it out to go 2-1 up, but succumbed to attrition, and the end result 2-3. Overall 12-15. A huge effort was put in by Grange players, and whilst not a win, was under the circumstances a fair haul. JJ was in high spirits after his escapology, the pasta was excellent, and a good night was had by all. Next week we need max points....

Still, not a bad effort against a division 2 team.
You mean "One of JJ Tait's Love Children" ;-)
Agreed, ESC3 with that line-up every week would be Div 2 comfortable.
Personally GRG2 would be Div 2 if they could just get their normal team out more often.
Of course, all if's 'n buts, getting the best team out every week and getting the best points possible with a reserve team (when necessary) is what everyone has to do.
Was this GRG1 versus ESC3 in division two, or GRG2 versus ESC4 in division three?
Well spotted. It felt like we played ESC3, but they were in fact ESC4.
I think the allusion to "a division 2 team" may have been too subtle: big "whoosh" from Christy.
Mea culpa, JJLTC. You're right, that went right over my head. I blame the hacks, just can't get the people these days ;-)
