Princes send Hart home as Paupers
The team:-
1) Simon Wood
2) Dave Wroe
3) Steve George
4) Sohail
5) Mark Corr
Aided and abetted by Stephen, Jan, one working PA system and a flip
chart score board.
First off was Sohail who ran and ran, got fairly worked-up but couldn’t
convert his changes against his former rugby-player opponent. Even
Jan’s (who was sitting next to the beer) microphone-enhanced dodgy
marking couldn’t save Sohail who went down 1-3 (I think)
On the flip-chart scoreboard court Mark raced into a 1-0 lead – well he
was about 7-3 up and finally clinched it 10-8. Unfortunately it was a
bit of a struggle from then on for him, as his opponent’s tight lobbing
ground Mark down and he too succumbed 1-3.
Dave followed Sohail and swiftly took the first game 9-0 and proceeded
to drop the next 3. His opponent got better but Dave didn’t so that was
a fair result really !
Steve, who initially talked-down his chances, played a steady safe game,
with economical leg use and some tidy strokes. He never looked
particularly troubled (apart form a wobble in the 3rd game) and came
through a comfortable 3-1 winner.
Simon’s opponent was aiming to double (to 2) his points tally from their
previous encounter. With iron-fisted marker Steve on hand signals, and
Jan on flip-chart, Simon cruised through (on a sore ankle) to a slightly
scruffy 3-0 win.
Overall a 2-3 defeat for Hart old gits.
