POPPS B were beaten 9 nil. However Joan and Alan put on a worthy performance but were no match to the Seniors superior skills, tricky serves and dodgy spin. John was man of the match for POPPswithout a doubt having taken Roy Aldroyd to 5 sets (or is that in tennis?). John won his 1st game in his other 2 matches but Alwyn & Harry (owns a big pub at Bull Green) managed to come from behind in the end which John found rather painful but vowed never to give up.
Alan.
Thanks for this report Alan. Sound like you had a good match and all aquitted yourselves well considering that the Citizens are one of the top teams in the division and the most experienced. I’m sure us youngsters we can learn a lot from them! Incidently, a match is made up of 9 sets, each the best of 5 games. At least I think this is the correct terminology. No doubt someone will correct us if not!
