LATEST MATCH REPORTS...

The second game of the year looked a little more promising than our previous disaster and we were at least respectable in the first set trailing by only one with the score at 3-2 to the visitors with Paul Gafa and Peter Wells notching up wins.

Dread set in again after losing the second set 4 - 1 with only Paul Dawson registering a win and it was starting to look like a repeat performance from last time with unhappy consequences for the seniors leaving us trailing 7-3.

However, like a phoenix rising from the ashes the London boys suddenly started potting some balls!

We won the third set 4 - 1

We won the fourth set 3-2

Going into the final set we were all square at 10 - 10.

With yours truly notching up a win in the first frame we were ahead! 11-10

We could smell victory...

Alas it was not to be this time, we lost the next four and were defeated 14 - 11

Still a massive improvement from our first match and we proved the new team is competing at the right level. Only a matter of time until we get our first win under our belts.

Man of the match has to go to the injured Paul Dawson for hobbling around the table double quick time and not incurring a time foul.

Paul Dawson 3/5
Paul Gafa 3/5
Joe Kane 0/2
Martin Storey 1/5
Pete Thomas 3/5
Peter Wells 1/3
