Match Report 10th October 2018 RB3 vs Avon (H)
Hot on the heels of 2 close interclub matches, RB3 entered the ring with Avon for our first real fight. Hopes and spirits were high. Pairing was Rob & Dave (because Dave likes to run and Rob doesn't) and Kiranam and Kesav (The smash brothers).
First pair up, close match taking their first pair to 3 games, but just not getting the final point to take home the rubber.
Second pair, 2 close games but another away win. Two rubbers down, but Rob and Dave confident we can take their second pair.... but in the end put in what can only be described as a dreadful performance, at one point being 0-10 down! Deflated, but not down we watch our second pair take them to 3 games, but again not managing to get the win. 0-4, and now playing for pride.
On the split, things didn’t get much better, another 2-0 and a 2-1.... plus some spectacular sting breakage from Rob. Overall, a lot of close games, but just not able to take home the bacon. 0-6 (3-12) for RB3, but some positive play for all members.... Tonight we take on St. Philips at Home, so lets hope we can learn from our mistakes of last week and bring home some points.
