LM2 vs Mowbray I (H)
It’s a fantastic win for LM2 won 7 - 2 rubbers, in the match with Mowbray 1. Tremendous performance from all pairs winning 16 - 4 games today. *
It’s a must win for LM2 as Mowbray are on top of the league table and already beat Ashby, with whom LM2 last the previous game. All pairs performed to the challenge.
Starting with our star pair of LM2 Alex & Dan, with their first pair ( who actually is their 3rd pair) won comfortably to 6 & 16. Having only two courts for the first hour, they had to wait long for their next games. Their second game with mowbray’s second pair ( who actually are their first pair) went comfortably winning to 9 & 19. There is no stopping, they continued their excellence with the 3rd pair ( who is their second pair) winning to 15 & 14. TOP GAME from this star pair with attack and net returns have troubled the opponents badly, who could score only 79 points in 6 games. Great efforts Alex & Dan. Thank you.
Sam & Kiranam started the game with their first pair winning the first game, but the unforced errors costed the next two games loosing the rubber. Game with their 3rd pair is fun and a straight forward 12 point lead, winning the rubber for us easily. It went to three close games with their second pair, again loosing the rubber to 19 due to some close calls. Sam has given everything in the game could bring 5 straight points, but has some how gone against us. It’s late to realise, but may be more attack may have turned the result to us. We’re sure will fight back in next games. Thanks Sam, for all the hard work on the court. Opponents have scored 98 points against this pair in 8 games.
Coming to Darren & Brad going as third pair started with their second pair winning to 16 & 18. What a performance from this pair, it’s breathtaking and both have fought for every point. There are very nice rallies in all the games they played today, at some point, we had to watch more than a minute of rally winning the point for us. They have easily won on their third pair to 10 & 18 and their first pair to 9 & 16. LM2 for the first time have got all 3 rubbers from this combination, is a tremendous improvement. It looks competition building up within the LM2 to get all 3 rubbers. Opponents have scored 87 points against this pair in 6 games. What a performance guys !! Well played Darren & Brad.
Finally, a big thank you to all the players coming on time and for bringing the right change(match fees). Kudos LM2 👏
