Paul was on first against the Gothic kid, black clothes, T-shirt displaying arcane symbols, dyed spiky black hair and a face so pale it made his zits look luminous. Unfazed by the kid’s appearance and on court antics, Paul dealt with him severely, despite a concentration lapse in the third game. Richard on next against the scary guy, large tattooed mean looking character, got off to a good start but was worn down. Phil then played the old crafty guy, started slowly and gathered momentum eventually wearing him down for a good win. Steph played the other kid, far less bizarre encounter than Paul’s but a closely fought match with a similar outcome.
Results:
Paul Dixon 3 – 1
