Thirds home v Bank of Scotland (Thurs, Nov 12,'09)

In St George's, Mark Dutton broke strings that he wasn't happy with anyhow early on. With a borrowed racket he was much happier and had the usual corkscrew and corkbreak serves to discomfit John Burnett 3-0.
Christy swished his way past Phil Brown in 3. Ian Forbes didn't have one of his better performances in his own estimation but still beat Bruce Melvin 3-1. Patrick saw off Robin Nisbet, also in straight games.

Stokesy and Rob Norris played out the match of the night, a contest to see who could keep their trackie bottoms on the longest. In the end it was a draw as they both decided their muscles were warm enough after the fourth game! An exhibition in ball placement by Alan versus a demonstration of telecopic arm retrieving by Rob with Alan just shading it and the Man of the Match award. 3-2.

Thanks to Andy Whitelaw for support, checking out his team for next week onwards after a good spell with the dirt-trackers aka Grange 4. Back at fortress Grange with just two bank men showing for the hospitality, there was enough pizza for an army. Talk turned to the refereeing assessment at the Grange Open this weekend with 2 bank men down for trial by squash player.

5-0, the thirds train trundles on with a 20-4 score which doesn't reflect on how competitive the tie was. Report: Loob
