The first LM1 match, and Trinity's first ever match in Leicestershire division 2. The pairs were Dan & Chris, Tom & Khalid and Ian & Shaz. Ian & Shaz were running as late as it warns on the packet.
Dan & Chris left little to report, cruising along and beating their 1st pair 21-11 21-9, their 2nd pair 21-9 21-10 and their 3rd pair 21-10 21-6.
Tom & Khalid had their LM1 debut after a lengthy preseason selection process where they narrowly came out on top, and they didn't disappoint. They came out firing and beat their 2nd pair 21-8 21-9, their 3rd pair 21-12 21-13 and rounded it off impressively against their 1st pair by winning 21-17 21-13.
Ian & Shaz rolled up on the scene after a flawless record for LM1 last season. First they beat their 3rd pair 21-6 21-13, and they finished by beating their 2nd pair 21-14 21-14. In between, they clashed with their first pair in a marathon game, pinching the first game 23-21, but losing the team's only end on the night 19-21 before bouncing back to win the third end 21-18. As expected, it was revealed at the pub that they were "just tiring them out" before their game with Tom & Khalid.
9-0 to Trinity and a great way to start off the season, though there will be tougher opposition in the midst.
