Howard 2 registered a terrific win over struggling Belfast. Roger Morely and captain Alex Clarke picked up maximums and were supported by Tony Bull, who  is rolling back the years and playing tremendous table tennis.  Fresh from his outstanding win over Martin Ball,  the veteran posted a brace, the best victory  was against Brian Lees, coming back from 10,4 down in the fifth,  saving 6 match points in the process, to win 12,10. The comebacks didn't stop there, Alec Clarke fighting back from two legs down against an out of sorts Shev Mcdonald,  7,11, 7,11, 11,7, 11,8, 11,7 to win in five.  Roger Morley was in excellent form, also winning a fifth legger, 12,10 against Segun Ake.  The Belfast captain did have the consoilation of posting the only singles win for Belfast, a three legger over Tony Bull. A great night for Howard but once again,  a miserable evening for Belfast
