The final result of this tight match was 6-4 to Waterside L. This was a great result as both Matt and Alan had lost heavily to this experienced team last year. This week Bob not only won his first game this season but all 3 of them with Matt winning 2. The pivotal game was the doubles which was won 11-9 by Matt and Bob in the fifth game after going 2 games to 1 down.
This win takes us off the bottom and level with Wimpey proving that we can compete in this division.

If it were not for Tony going down 15-17 in the fifth set after having two match points we could have won! In the end Matt Moody stepped up to the plate and played with poise and confidence and salvaged a deserved draw in the last game against Soton West O.
After two quite serious defeats, this performance proves that we may be in the right place after all. An improved performance all round, but we’ll keep our feet on the ground and take every game us it comes…..

Imagine, if you can, a hall as big (nearly) as ours at Testwood with only one table in the middle. That’s how it was on Tuesday night, and eerily quiet was it!
Tricky game this one, playing against a newly relegated team. They just had too much nous for us and we just made too many mistakes. Thanks to Alan (Bone) we avoided a complete whitewash. He took games in his singles and doubles. And Matt Moody’s first game in the third division was very encouraging; he showed that it it won’t be long before he will be be able to give as much as he gets.
