Match Report

What a cracking match, highly competitive for the most part with only three games going three straight. Oleg had a particularly tough night finally losing his final singles aftercoming back from two legs down to two all.

Sammy in the meantime only dropped one leg all night until it came to the doubles. 

Matt had the longest night playing 18 out of a possible 20 legs and only having one win to show for it although having lost three match points to Neil in the third leg, having romped through the first two and then losing the last two, he can feel a little hard done by. Having said that his game against Mike was very similar but he managed to win the fifth. 

For Castaways Neil and Johnny managed two wins each with Johnny having had the better wins in a total of ten singles legs whilst Neil took twelve and as said above saved three match points against Matt. 

Mike got the very important one against Oleg and was unlucky against Matt when he was being blinded by the lights as Matt lobbed him – one of his excellent losing reasons from his little book of reasons. 

Neil and Johnny maintained their unbeaten record as a doubles pair this season to earn Castaways the win. 

We all retired to the pub for much chat and beer being joined by players from all the other teams playing at the Abbey making for a very entertaining hour and a half.
