Match Report

 A 5-5 draw was a fitting result in what was a titanic struggle.  Every player contributed but nobody was unbeaten.  Basildon raced into a 3-0 lead, but back came Canvey to win the next 5 games.  It was then down to Sue Body to keep her team alive in the final singles against Lee McGonagle.  She eventually prevailed, coming back from 1-2 down to take the final end at 14/12.  Sue then paired up with Tina Hutchinson to win the final doubles to ensure a share of the spoils.  It was after 11.30 before the match finished and thanks are due to Paul Brown who stayed behind after his match had ended to help put the table etc away.
