8th League vs. Winchester Hills

At home to Winchester last night and off we go again.


On first I went at no 3 and won the first in a close encounter 9 - 6. Then the next 9 - 0 and thought this is easy. Should have been playing 8th league for years already I thought. Only to then promptly lose the the third 3 - 9. But then dug in to take the next 9 - 0. Piece of cake after all. 3 - 1 up.


But not quite so easy for the next man Paul Fallon at # 2. Began with two hard games and got punished. But then rallied with a brilliant rear guard action to take the third 9 - 6. But it was not to be --- went down closely 7 - 9 in the 4th. 1 -- 3 down.


Nick Papa at no 4 then cracked the whip firmly and cake walked it 3 - 0 in quick time. No contest. 3 -- 0 up.


Last was best once again --- and who else but Bruce say no more Bydawell ? --- once again. Another 5 setter of note. First up then down then up and then all square at 2 a piece. Only to lose a great final 7 - 9 at just before 10pm ! 2 -- 3 down.


So overall result 11 -- 7 and the flag is flying.



Match score: 11-7
