Tricia and Seb kept up their 100% record by winning the three rubbers. All the other rubbers were very closely contested and three of those were taken to 3 games where we only just lost out.

The team actually scored more points than Esporta in the match and with a little bit of fortune, the result could have been reversed.

Still, it was a very good performance by all and good to see Steve's back held up well. We now need to look forward to our next match where hopefully we can get back on track.

A disappointing result as I feel that all 3 pairs were beatable but unfortunately on the night it just didn't go right for us. On a positive note, Tricia and Seb kept up their 100% record and got the 3 rubbers.

Both Mary & Steve and Penny & Harry were unlucky and could have even snatched it at the end. We now need to pick ourselves up for the next match and hopefully can get the result.

This was a really frustrating loss as we went into the last 2 rubbers 4-3 up. Both rubbers went to 3 and but unfortunately we couldn't get the win. Considering the white walls, plastic shuttles (yellow) and the slippery floor we battled well.

I feel confident we can beat this team at home when we meet for the return in the new year. Thanks to Matt for standing in at relatively short notice.

Despite being two regulars short which gave us two changed partnerships, this was an extremely good win. Ash Green had 2 of the same pairs we played away with a stronger lady coming in to strengthen up the third. Tricia and Seb maintained their 100% record after a slight stutter in their third rubber but showed their determination by turning it around and getting the win. Mary and Keith played really well having never played together before (even at club) but unfortunately luck wasn't on their side. Fiona and Harry fought really hard and picked up the other 2 rubbers.

Thanks to both Keith and Fiona for playing as we were struggling to get a team together. Both played extremely well and showed great commitment by playing at very short notice.

A great win away to Barkers to maintain the positive start to 2006.

Tricia and Seb along with Penny and Matt won all three rubbers whilst Jo and Harry won two with the third going to 3 against their first pair. They had a different man playing in their third pair (ex Jubillee) and all three rubbers against them went to 3 games.

This was a really tight match going down to the last rubber with the score tied at 4 all. The rubber inevitably went to 3 to keep everyone on the edge of their seats. It eventually finished 9-15, 17-14, and 8-15.

Tricia and Seb again won all 3 of their rubbers with Jo and Harry getting the other 2. Fiona and Steve came really close in all 3 rubbers with their last, against their 1st pair, going to 3 and being edged out in the final game 15-12.

This result made up for the loss at home (6-3) with Esporta making 3 changes to the side we played earlier in the season. Tricia and Seb won their 3 rubbers edging a tight one against their 2nd pair in 3. With Phil playing his first mixed game since his operation and Mary coming back having been out with knee problems, it took them a little to get going, but they beat their thirds comfortably and were only just beaten in 3 by their first pair. Harry and Jo had a good start convincingly beating their thirds and put up a good fight against their seconds.

It was good to see Mary back in action and fingers crossed her knee will be ok. Thanks to Phil for playing at short notice to cover for Steve who has unfortunately been struck down with this bug that's around.

The final match of the season against the division leaders was always going to be a difficult one and in true fighting spirit, it went down to the last rubber to decide the match. With Steve back we reverted back to the normal pairings and got off to a good start by winning 2 of the first 3 rubbers. It then went backwards and forwards to 4 rubbers all and it was all on the last rubber. A slight feeling of deja vous but this time it went to the opposition.

Tricia and Seb again won all of their three rubbers with Jo and Harry getting the other. Fiona and Steve battled hard and came close in their rubbers.

Unfortunately only pride was at stake as the division had already been decided with Ernsford Grange1 winning it but we did manage to finish second which should get the team promoted in to division 2 for next season.

A big thanks and well done to all who played throughout the season.
