After looking at the league table, we were confident of an easy win.. how far wrong we’re we!! 😬
After last minute illnesses to Alex & Neil, and Ben coming back from back injury… the captain was frantically searching the globe for suitable replacements.. Luckily, we managed to sign up Sam W & Jacob for his Leicester debut and had no choice but to lump in Ben.
When we arrived, bright yellow plastic shuttles greeted the team, we were in for fun… 🤥
Sam & Daan played brilliantly, narrowly losing in 3 to the 1sts, letting the 2nds beat them to 2 and taking a much needed win against the 3rds 👌
Phil & Jacob played as well as they could against opposition who were used to yellow plastics, but came up short against the 1sts losing narrowly in 2.
They had better Success against the 2nds and 3rds winning both in 2, but again this wasn’t as easy as anticipated, the wins were definitely hard fought 😅
Ben & Darren - After also losing to the 1sts in 2 (21-17,21-18) we took on the 2nds. After going a game down (21-15 😨🫣😬🪓) Ben turned round to Daz and stated the obvious… “Daz, we need to win this 😨”
After walking off court, a change of racket and some confident boosting prep talk from Sam & Phil.. the pair snapped into 2nd gear winning the 2nd and 3rd game to 17 & 12 😅
Game is hanging on a knife edge, 4-4 and Daz & Ben to play the 3rds…
Easy win for the pair in the end, winning comfortably in 2.
Quorn 4 LM2 5
Unbeaten with 5 wins out of 5 and top of the league for Christmas 🙌🏻
Merry Christmas 🎅
