RESULT: Mens 4th vs Merrow IV 6/6/10

Playing for the team were: Chris Drew, Steve Ingle, James Reed and Roger Tagholm.

 

In muggy conditions it was an even well played match on the Merrow's sandy astro courts.  Steve and I fought back well after a slow start against Merrow's 2nd pair to dominate the second set and edge the match tie-break to take the lead. James and Roger fought hard against the first pair coming from 3-5 down in the second set to force a tie-break and then fighting back from 1-6 to 5-6 in the tie-break before missing out.   In their second match James and Roger struck back strongly to force a match tie-break but went down 5-10. Against Merrow's first pair Steve and myself saved two set points on my serve at 4-5 15-40 in the first set which proved crucial.  After taking the first set on the tie-break we eased through the second to complete the draw and ensure Wilton left with a deserved point. 

 

 

A solid start to the season and one which we can build on. Thanks to everyone for playing and to James who fired up the Reed-mobile to get us over to Merrow and back.
