Match Report

Although Howard won 7,3, Belfast can be relatively pleased with their efforts. Alan Watson dropped just one leg all night in his maximum, hardly breaking a sweat. He  was supported by Simon Forest who also went unbeaten. Belfast called up Dean Chipperfield from Cumberland and he didn't disappoint, powering past Mick Ling three straight and starting well against Simon Forest, taking the first leg 11,9, before the Howard player showed all his experience and class to win in four. Segun Ake played some of the best shots all night but just couldn't quite get over the line.
Charlie Cook was also impressive fighting back from 9,5 down in the second leg against Mick Ling to win three straight. Alan Watson and Simon Forest teamed up in the doubles, but were no match for a rejuvinated Dean Chipperfield and Charlie Cook, a brilliant performance from the Belfast doubles pair
