London B 25 - 19 Berkshire B June 12th bought top of the region Berkshire to London for our next county game which London were looking to bounce straight back into the race for top spot after a disappointing away defeat to Hampshire last month and boy did they do just that without a few key players to. As usual we started slow losing 7 out of 9, but with the great team support and group of players London have we fought for every frame then on winning a massive 13 frames to take a well earned 15-7 lead at the end of the second set which included winning that set 10-1 with some great finishing from everyone. The 3rd set Berkshire then came back at us winning 7 of the next 8 to close the gap again with some good clearances from their top order players but back came London again as the back order stood strong and won the last 3 of the set to take a 19-14 lead into set 4. Set 4 started with London knowing they were on the verge of a big win against a good Berkshire side, but they was not going to give up easily as they yet again managed to claw it back to with in a couple of frames which in all honesty London couldn't do anything about, but like earlier in the match we fought hard for every frame possible and we got what this great team of players deserved by winning 5 of the last 6 to give us a massive 25-19 victory which also takes us above our opponents in the region standings. A few players could of got man of the match, Rob Cork and Ryan Francis for their 4/4 or even Adam Coppen, Dec Kelly and Connor Hewson for 3/4 but personally I think every one deserves it especially the players who came back to the B's today because each and everyone of the team supported each other win or lose and kept the morale up when we could of easily lost it in that first set so well done everyone great team performance. Another special mention for chris Hobbis who was our stand in captain and done a very good job in the absence of captain and vice captain Michael Clayton and William Gaylor and I'm sure him and every one else done them proud with this great win, let's keep it up now boys and get ready for next month.
