In the first match Harry Jutle had trouble containing the Somerset number 1 heavy spin looper and did well to take a game off him to lose in the 4th set. Bob Marshall could do little against his opposition to lose in 3. Chris Martin went on next to storm through his opposition in the first 2 sets, before he was pegged back to lose the 3rd at deuce. Chris was able to maintain pressure in the 4th to win 11-9, getting us off to a start. Harry and Helen Green played the first set of mixed doubles to lose the first set, but then gelled together to win the next 3 to win in the 4th at deuce to level the match at 2 each. Harry also struggled with the player that Bob played earlier losing the first 2 before managing to make an impression to win the 3rd. Unfortunately he was unable to maintain this in the 4th, not helped by his opposition’s luck on 3 points, to lose it 8-11. Helen had a tough battle against her opposition who returned everything with very heavy back spin, but managed win it in 4, two at deuce, to level the scores again at 3 each. Chris and Bob went on next to play the men’s doubles, which went all the way and won it in the 5th convincingly to lead the match for the first time 4-3. Bob also had no answer to his 2nd opponent and the score once again levelled at 4 each. Chris went on for his 2nd singles and although lost the 1st to the heavy looper, but then lifted his game up a gear to win the next 3 convincingly, to lead the match at 5-4. Chris and Helen played the final match of mixed doubles winning the first 2, losing the next 2, but recovering to win the 5th set for a final match result of 6-4.
