Monday 2.11.09. Senior Citizens 1 v Popps A 8

The winning run goes on — bragging but we have to say it whilst we can — we have to play the best teams yet !

In this match, the Clash of the (elderly) Titans, Terry A lead the way with 3 excellent wins. Incidentally his last point against Senior Citizen’s Alan Feetham was a rally of 148 strokes, by which time Alan had worn his bat out and the Town Hall clock was striking midnight ! This was followed by Peter Mc winning his 3 matches and then John T winning 2 (just tiring a little in his 3rd). This was a good result against a team which beat us by a similar score last season and shows how much we have improved, thanks to Alan Dickinson’s superb coaching. I suppose, though, that youth is on our side considering our average age is only 66 compared to 71 for the Senior Citizens !

12.10.09. Popps A 5 v Tradesmen 4

3 wins from Terry A and 2 from Peter Mc sealed a hard fought win against a very young and promising Tradesmen team. Derek G had to retire when he went over with a tendon injury. Hopefully this will not keep him out for long as he is a valuable member of the squad.
