3 Feb 12: Doubles A vs Phoenix B, Win! 5-4
Following on from their crucial win last week, Steve's A team have snatched an important victory against Phoenix A team, beating them 5-4 away. With Phoenix having to field three teams on one night, two playing at home, their Men's A team were missing two regular players. It turned out to be an important encounter which Steve's A team fully capitalised on. Bit of a classic one under the circumstances - Colin fit, Dave in formidable serving form and Bill - running round, and round, and round! Thanks to Steve and Dave (3-0), Colin and Bill (2-1) and John H with Alex (0-3). Captain Steve commented "After a contentious week we have managed to chalk up a victory under trying circumstances. Off we trooped to 'Trobo' to play Phoenix but the heating breakdown at their venue meant we had a rather frosty welcome: I asked for collective effort in the face of the adversity we encountered, and good grief, did I get it? Heroics from super subs and new pairing John and Alex meant their games wore down the time and energy of their opponents, tipping fortune in our favour. At four points each and one end each in the final pairing of the evening, the match ended even and there was no more time left to finish the decider bestowing the crucial point to us. Memorable matches like this one make it all worthwhile for all of us who participate - my gratitude to you!" For previous results, visit the Doubles A section.

It is a pretty good result and could have (should have) been 9-0. Mitt broke his personal record, twice - scoring 14 points on the trot from his serve then out doing that against Marshfield's 3rd pair with a 16-point winning streak. Thanks to John O and Chris (3-0), Mitt and Matt M (2-1) and Grant with Matt L (2-1). Captain Grant said "Well done to all for Thursday night, and also to Mitt for topping his personal record. The final score was 7-2 to us. Fantastic evening, top quote from Matt L at 15-19 down and 1-0 up in our last game - 'we don't want to take this to three!' Well done all again for some great play."
