Our rematch against Longslade Stoneygate! We rocked up and Longslade informed us that they were only able to field two eligible pairs so immediately we were up 3-0, however being a good club - they brought in some extras players for some friendly games so we wouldn’t be too bored and could have some fun!
Chris and Dan took both games with no issues, we had some friendly, fun games 🤙🏻
Shaz and Ian also took both of their games. They had a very tense game against their first pair which went to 3. It seemed fairly equal 🤯 but the boys turned it up at the end and managed to snatch victory with a 21-18!
Alex and Tom did Phil proud and managed to defeat their experienced players 🥳 (who shared when they played Phil & Alex previously it was the best they’ve played in 15 years! 🤣) They put up a good effort against their first pair but ultimately lost 15 and then 16.
LM1 won 8-1😊 Longslade were very friendly and we had a great night. We went to the pub afterwards and had some grub! Steve and Neera from Longslade came along for some friendly banter. Steve said he might come down to club night at some point! 😀
And with that…. We only have TWO games left in the division who are against Meltonshire 2. Our home game is on the 22nd March and the away game is the 10th May. Hopefully by then our Captain Phil will make his great return from being off injured 🦿

After a delayed start - courts v mopped due to debris, we started just after 8.20 pm, hence a possibility of running out of time. Team players suggested we play the games back to back and the pressure was on🧐 ..
RM1 nominated pair Khalid and Tom played their first pair with relative ease, responding to their smashes and drops with counterattack that were precise and points worthy. On the other court we had Darren and myself taking on their 2nd pair. With flat shots from Darren and an attacking stance both pairs comfortably won their first game with 2-0 to Trinity.🏸🏸 It took no more than 7 minutes for the first round😱 and time keeping looked promising😎. Tom and Khalid played their second pair unquestionably winning their game in 2 rubbers whereas Darren and myself played their first pair which went to 3 rubbers. However, a change in strategy midway 🤩🤩during the third rubber paid in and we zoomed through🚀, winning the game. ✨4-0 so far.✨
Our final pairings were Khalid and Darren and Tom and myself. Both games ended in straight wins with final scores 6-0 to Trinity. To top it all we finished by 9.25 giving us the opportunity to play some more games with our super supportive 💫club members🌟🌈.....another 3 games to go. with 2 being away and final one @home🤔
