Pre-season Friendly v Nutbrook PDF Print E-mail

Pre-season Friendly Match against Nutbrook

The damp and constant drizzle did not prevent ten teams doing battle at the Air Hostess' pistes on Thursday 29th. April. Although termed a friendly, there was no lack in competitive aggression. Ann organised the teams into pairs formation and despite the inclement weather some interesting games ensued. All other teams were well into their second round games before the home pairing of Peter & Malcolm eventually posted their 13 first round points on the board.

Rob & Will had a couple of tough games as did Nutbrook's Steve & Sheila and Dave & Jennie, all three pairings coming unstuck in the first 2 rounds. David & Sue won both their games for the home team, Barry & Marilyn also Kevin & Richard secured one of their games as did Zena & Brian.

Roger & Don set a high standard winning their first two games and had their noses infront by just a point in the final round when it was decided that the warmth of the bar, superb buffet and refreshments were more of a friendly than the unceasing rain. Ann had paired up with Phil to make Nutbrook's  fifth team - a two club combination which steamed through the competition without losing a game. The final tally gave the visitors a win by 7 games to 5.

Thanks to all who turned out despite the bad weather and to those travelling from afar - to Ann for organising the whole evening and also to Steve and his bar staff for providing the well received food & drink.
