Against Alsager with a depleted bottom end of the team. Chris started off and showed some good early signs of taking his opponent, but sadly lost 3-2 gaining some valuable points. Then Dave Waring and Myself went on (we went to 2 courts) with Dave's first run out after an unbeaten record in the 2nd's big things were expected. Sadly he lost 3-1 which put us 2 down in matches. I went on against Ed who I lost to in the first half and so had a score to settle. After 2 hard first games managing to get 2-0 but had stitch and was running low on energy. Ed clawed back the 3rd and in the 4th we had a major battle which I just managed to win 10-8. Perry had been on in the meantime and lost 3-0 which meant the match was lost. However Liam then stepped onto court with the first game abliterating his opponent 9-0. Then another epic battle ensued with the 2 players with similar styles drawing level at 2-2. Then Liam went out in the fifth and stepped up another gear taking 5 points off his opponent within a matter of minutes before then closing out the match 9-3, a great effort.

Overall a good start to the second half and some outstanding individual performances. Hopefully with Justin back in the saddle next week we'll continue to improve further.
