Good to have the full quota of three fit players, unlike last time, and better still when that threesome comprises Anshul/Ed/Andy. Sorry to everybody else who's paid their subs, but we need the points.

Signs weren't great when starman Ansul went down 3-1 in a cracking match to M_Ramsey, who turned out to be their best player (at least on the night) by a long way. Andy lost by the same score in another big-hitting stonker, while I couldn't get anywhere near him.

On a happier note, all three of us won our other singles games -- Ed in straight games (natch), Andy and Anshul scraping past Tracy and Scott respectively. That, plus an Ed/Anshul doubles win, meant we fully deserved our celebratory drinkies and Nobby's Nuts at the coffee-less Oyster Reach.
