1st pair Alex & Ruth, 2nd pair Darren & Tracey. This was a really hard fought draw!
A/R were getting their money’s worth by taking both pairs to 3 games, losing against the 1st pair (24-26, 22-20,14-21) & beating the seconds in a nail biting 26 -24 win.
T/D took a less stressful route, beating the 2nd pair in 2 and getting spanked by the 1st pair in 2. 2 all at the split!!
Alex got a 5 min break then back on with Tracey to take their split in 2. Darren & Ruth had a really good game taking theirs to 3, but couldn’t get the win. Amazing performances, Ruth had all 3 games go to 3 and we thought we’d need the defibrillator on Alex, but all was well 😂😅

Hitesh was putting out a flare for a 4th player. Phil answered the call after confirming that he wasn't going to get an ear bashing from the Rugby league! Pairs were Phil/ Dave, Adib/ Paul. Daves wife had popped along as the cheer squad, I'm sure I heard at one point her telling me to say to Dave he's moving like a 'sack of potatoes' if he's not moving and dont forget to talk about his new shoes😆.
All started out well, some pressure from the captain as the last win was 6-0 and pairings had some to no time playing together👀. Phil and Dave had a steady start taking their firsts in two, with one to 7. Adib and Paul secured 1st's the two with a consistent 16/18 result. Paul had a brief moment turning a white colour, but a quick power apple juice and he was back in the zone!💪.
On to the seconds, P/D had a rocky mid way giving away a healthy lead but taking it at 18. The second game was wrapped up in 10 after a quick chat. A/P wrapped it nicely with an 8/12 win. The split saw Phil/ Adib Paul/Dave playing, with the opposition captain asking to change up his team going into the split🤣. Er no, rules is rules🧐😁.
They split for strength and wanted to change to an even spread. Both pairs took them in two. P/A took the first in 12, the second had let a few easy errors in but nevertheless took it at 19. P/D had a nice easy ride wrapping up in two with a comfortable 5/9 respectively. 6-0 to Trinity, I believe secures the win for Hitesh and team with one to play. Thanks for having me chaps, well played all. Good fun games and a nice team with some friendlys, post mullering 🤣.

Pairs were 1st Ben/Hitesh and 2nd Alex/Tracey. There were some really close games, B/H lost in 2 to the 1st pair & couldn’t quite take the 2nd pair, but took them to 3. A/T lost in 2 against the 2nd pair, but the 1st pair games suited us & we managed to win that one. On the split B/T won theirs in 3, while A/H lost in 2. Overall 4 - 2 loss 😕
