LODGERS D MOVE UP TO 2ND!

  Steve Hill was the player of the match as Lodgers D moved up to second place in the division with a 3-7 victory away to 2 man Graves Park E. Despite the scoreline, the matches were close affairs and if the Park had fielded a full team it could have been a very different result. This was exemplified by a titanic tussle between the Park's Peter Bell and David Kime in the very first match of the night. Peter coming from 0-2 down to take the next two ends 11-8, 11-6 before just falling short 9-11 in the fifth. Steve Hill was in top form, winning both of his matches in four ends and with Dave Kime winning his second match against Alex Allbones plus the three walkovers, that was enough to get them the victory. Peter and Alex did get some reward for their labours though, both taking victories over Ian Gorrie before teaming up to win the doubles in four sets against Dave Kime and Ian Gorrie on what was an enjoyable evening.
