Strongest team that we have come across so far, but a great win 17 - 10 (4 ties to 1).
Pete Cockburn had a very tight first game with Mike Callaghan, secured with some deft boasting, but then Mike's legs were gone and Pete raced away to a 3-0 win. Dougie caught Ed Murray just after a 2 week break in St Lucia and it showed - Ed was not getting to his drops. Dougie was sharp to go 2-0 up then Ed rallied to take the third. Dougie let 7-0 and then 8-3 slip to go 8-9 down in the fourth, before clinching it 10-9. (3-1)
Mike Hall had a titanic struggle with the legendary Jim Dougal with the umpire much troubled for decisions. 2-0 up before the Dougal rally, Mike held it together to make it in the fifth (3-2). Tony Gribben had some very long rallies with Ally Carruth, but the opponent was too strong on the night and despite a close third, Tony went down 0-3.
The number 1 match was a corker. Robin Steel took on the very useful Mike Sinclair and the audience marvelled at the incredible retrieving and skill by both players and levels of fitness the rest of us can only dream about! Robin eventually prevailed 9-7 in the fifth. Superb.

Great to see that Ed's back in action, after injury and illness.
