Another cracking match between Newton Abbots top two teams, with the Batmen just edging it 6-4 again, as they did in their first encounter this season.

The personnel changed from the first encounter as Sonja came in for Jon and Naomi for Mike.  The skipper was just off the pace all evening as she contemplated her early morning flight to Paris, while Naomi was in scintillating form.

Man of the match Shaun was just beaten by Herbie in 5, a superb contest of power hitting and counter hitting. Shaun however saw off both Kevin & Sonja in 3.

Match of the night was Naomi’s brilliant win over Herbie 12-10 in the 5^th. Another game full of powerful hitting and incredible rallies.

Kevin was too consistent with his returns for Naomi and he also got the better of his old adversary Dennis in another great match.  

Herbie’s victory over Dennis got the Buzzards to 4-4, but the Batmen, with MoM Shaun Gibbs, involved in the last 2 sets saw the Batmen through to the win.  Unusually, Dennis sat out the final doubles as the youngsters, Naomi & Shaun defeated Herbie & Kevin 13-11, 8-11, 11-9, 12-10, a superb and fitting finale to an excellent evening’s entertainment.
