Match report by caretaker captain Ben Clifton:
" Match Report for Leicester Mens 1 vs Huncote... Both teams saw one player different in their lineups, but whilst Huncote shifted all their pairs around to accomodate, we were able to make a straight substitution. A delayed start due to late arrivals from ourselves didn't put us off to the best start. Karthick made his first club appearance, replacing Sam as Chris's partner. The pairing proved solid and were the first to finish after winning all three in straight games. Phil, no need to hurry back, Chris is in good hands đŹđ. Rich and Ben took Huncote's 2's & 3's in straight games, but struggled early against the deceptive shots from Steve in their 1st pair. Losing the first leg to 18, the pair rallied to win the 2nd to 14, and a tense 3rd (see Chris's video footage) saw the pair take a 21-19 đđ¤¤victory to add another 3 rubbers to the scoresheet.đ Ian and Steve started a bit late as Ian rocked in at 20:45, but made up for it by decimating their opposition, conceding 58 points in 6 games... less than 10 per game! All credit to Huncote, as they were offered the rubber for a late start, but opted to play it instead, meaning Steve truly kept his 15 rubber unbeaten streak alive! 9-0 was a fitting result to add to the 8-1 away leg, and means that the Macdonalds was on me!đđđđ "
Great to see the pairs still performing strongly, and a fitting improvement from the away leg playing with plastics.
