Another successful doubles match against BCC – great hosts, but vitally a first win for the GB Vets – 20 points to 16! *

Match of the Match was between GB Vets No.1 pair, newcomers Fergus Burnett and Darren Beavers (a last minute replacement for the injured Adam Rich) and the BCC’s No.1 pair of Scott Hews and Dan Sweeney. A high quality game, with fabulous shot play from all four players, with GB Vets squeezing over the line 15/14 in the final game.

Fergus and Darren won their second match, Karen and Mandy won both their matches, whilst the ‘Andys’ – Bonner and Davies – won one tie.

Veteran veterans Nigel Belle and a limping Robert Smith, although unsuccessful, provided a touch of humour, but without their pogo sticks were slightly limited in their movement!

Karen Hume.

*= 4 pairs each team, each pair playing twice, best of 3 games, PARS to 15, 1 point for a game, + 2 points to winning pair.

Postscript: Interesting to note that of the 8 BCC players 7 were also GB Vets!he teams lined up as follows:
