Monday 21 June
Team: Alan Wood, Derek Greenwood & Terry Allingto

Result EMBASSY 4   POPPS ‘A’ 5
This was another good win for Popps, with Terry winning 3, Alan one and Derek one.

In the first set, Terry faced the experienced Clive Sherratt with his baseball hat and playing in stocking feet. As usual, Clive played all 3 sets in one go, but Terry out-pushed him to win 3 games to one.

Alan and Derek both played well to beat Sam from Embassy. It was the gritty Steve Rathmell who caused us most of the trouble with his razor-like back hand, which troubled everybody.

It was a very enjoyable evening, played in a good spirit  on a boiling hot evening. Thanks must go to Derek for playing when his partner Gail was not too well.
