Oakland Raiders 348 v. Popps A 258

We expected Oakland Raiders, being favorites for promotion to the 1st Division, would hammer us.

So Peter started the proceedings and gave a creditable performance (he said) narrowly loosing the 2nd game (2 games to 21), total score 31-42.
The irrepressible Terry A then played Dave Whiteley and won the 2nd and total score 40-33. A great performance.

Derek G then lost against Robert Wright 16-42.

Peter’s turn again, against DW but could not cope with Dave’s spin service and was well beaten 19-42.

Derek, not on top form, then lost to SH 16-42. But Terry again turned the match around by winning his second game against RW 21-12 and achieved set score of 41-33, aother tremendous achievement.

Derek pulled himself together in his 3rd set and scored 20-42 against DW.
Peter also rallied himself against RW winning the 2nd game and achieving a 35-40 score.

Leaving the best to last Terry then had a wonderful 2 game win against Steve Horrocks, total score a magnificent 42-32 victory.

Result: Popps A 258 Oakland Raiders 348 but with our Handicap allowance of 171, this meant we won by 81 points and now go into the Quarter Finals. (Or should we quit whilst ahead ?)

PM PS Maybe in future we could save on expenses by sending Terry in on his own !
