Following last weeks Grange 4 v Dalgety Bay 4 victory, the pressure was on for Grange 3 v Dalgety Bay 3. We reckoned this might be tough...
5. Andy lost to Colin Boswell. A hard match against Colin, whose fitness knows no bounds, and who was their first half no.2. 0-3.
4. Dougie was technically in command against Scott Boswell, but Scott had amazing speed and tenacity that clinched the first games 9-7 and 10-8. Dougie took the 3rd, but Scott closed out with an energetic burst in the 4th. 3-1.
3. Stokesy took the first match for Grange against the colourful Willie Schultz. 3-1.
2. Al beat Neil Shepherd 3-0, leaving the team's undefeated record and chance of 2009/10 division 4 victory in the capable hands of Patrick....
1. Alan Jones is never an easy customer and tonight was no exception. He was playing well, cutting off anything but clingers and sending our man to all corners, not to mention the offputting ref appeals and general disruptive banter. Patrick answered with a solid performance, gave us a scare when he dropped a game, but pulled through with a convincing 3-1 win.
Overall, 3-2 and 15-10. Curry and ale at the Hillend Tavern rounded the evening off nicely, then we climbed into Dougie's Volvo, suitably pleased with ourselves, for the flight back to Edinburgh.

Terrific-Neil Shepherd is a class guy for Captain Ali-tastic to clean out. Never in doubt that Patrick would beat Alan.. take noting away from Stokesy also for chipping in one of the deciding matches.
Dalgety Bay are the only other club in East who can match us for real strength-in-depth (look at Boz playing at #5) and I fully expect them to move up a position in this division if the keep getting this lineup out (i.e. watch out The Dean;-)
The unbeaten run cotinues. Lets keep it that way - the only team unbeaten in all 5 open divisions if I recall correctly!
Good food report too.
