TT1314, Week 15
Current standings in
division 3
of the Ipswich & District table tennis league make for interesting
reading, if you've got too much time on your hands. Battling for that crucial
third spot are
ISC D,
Bright Stars
and our humble selves. Top of the heap
are the mighty
Manor Club
and righteous
Rosary Yellow,
tonight's opponents. Another crunch match, then.
Down at the Con Club back in October, we settled for a draw, neither side perhaps too happy with that result. Same line-ups tonight: for us, Ed, Yang and (if he turns up) Andy, and for them, tiring Bob, tableslapping Dave and tenacious Tony. In brief:
- pleasing 2/3 for Ed, recovering from an opening five-ender defeat to Tony
- pleasing 2/3 for Yang, edging past Dave before also losing to Tony
- OK 1/3 for Andy, launching into his games without a warm-up and doing well to beat Bob
So far, so similar to last time: 5-4 up with the doubles to play. Ed and Yang
were never really in it, truth be told. That'll be another equitable draw.
