Home Match against Plymouth 13th October
5 no teams (doubles) from each club played 4 matches each – 20 no games overall. We had 3 games in the morning, starting at 11am with 45 minute timed games.
Lunch was in the clubhouse – thanks to “Our Phil” jacket spuds, baguettes, pasties available (and enjoyed).
The final game occurred at 2.15 pm.
The day was cool/grey – but we stayed dry.
Tregony had the initial advantage in knowing their piste (which is not flat) and match 1 we dominated. Plymouth had spirited efforts in matches 2,3 and 4 – and won match 5 (3 to 2).
Overall, it was 13 wins to Tregony and 7 to Plymouth.
The overall point difference over the 20 games was only +33 in favour of Tregony – this reflects the competitive nature of most of the games with a result by only 1 or 2 points.
Our thanks to the Plymouth Team for travelling to be with us, we had a most enjoyable day. It will be with interest that we experience their new terrain next year (and hope that the current problems are resolved asap).
Thank you to the Icky’s for organising (our lady playing officers).
Just to note our double players were: -
Ray & Sue Smith.
Pete & Nicky Tombs.
Andy Cotton & Linda Johnson
Drew Jarvis & Sharon Wood (Marilyn Cotton substitute for Drew pm).
Jenny Skipp & Vicki Howerd.
