EVANS - THE STAR OF THE SHOW!

Wrangle got off to a solid start in their league campaign with a 7-3 victory over newly promoted Lodgers B. Peter Evans was the player of the match, putting in a scintillating performance, putting his three opponents to the sword without dropping an end. Sam Cooper couldn't quite follow suit, taking two victories against Gary Jaques and Colin Bell but couldn't cope with the tricky Trev Blackbourn, Trev winning comfortably in straight ends. Wrangle's Dave Coulson worked the hardest on the night, beating Trev Blackbourn in his first match before losing in four to Gary Jaques and going the full distance with Colin Bell, only to lose 11-13 in the fifth. In the doubles, it was the strong pairing of Evans/Cooper versus Blackbourn/Jaques, with the Wrangle pairing comfortably coming through in straight ends to take the victory on the night.
