We knew Lutterworth 2 were desperate to win the match as they were leading the table with only 2 matches to spare and we got a draw at home. We’ve did our preparation requesting Shaz to play for us, but Lutterworth also had the same mindset and brought in a first team member to the match.
We’ve initially thought playing Shaz & Ben together which could have brought us a win, but we played it safe with Shaz & Kiranam and Ben & Sam. Shaz & Kiranam started with Lutterworth’s second pair. No rush, we got the rubber easily with well driven drops from Shaz who surprised the opposition. On the other court Ben & Sam put in a good effort but couldn’t win against their 1st Division pair. Shaz & Kiranam gave a tough fight against their 1st Div pair ( getting to 19 points in both games) Shaz alone may have won the match 😁
At this stage, we’re 2 -2 going into splits, Shaz & Sam easily winning on the weakest split, where Ben & Kiranam struggled to get the rubber with multiple unforced errors. The match ended as Draw and we’re sure with better paring and split may have got us the win. Our next 3 games are key to win the division 🏆🥇
