Summer League 2012

New Mills 07 Prestbury (1) 17   04-05-2012

The Summer League kicked off on a defeat for New Mills although we all had a decent  game against pretty well balanced opponents. Howard found himself selected at three with Peter Lonsdale giving him as good as he got in a very close match. If anything Howards ability to retrieve seemingly lost causes should have given him the edge but Peter just wouldn't give in taking the game 10-8 in the fifth. I was drafted in at number five in spite of not playing for six weeks. I feared the worse but found some decent form and probably could and possibly should have won this encounter with Phil Colville. Phil started the stronger but at two all proved just a bit more match fit than myself and took advantage of my tiring frame to take the deciding game 10-5. Stacey Wild was our only victor at number one although Kevin Wyne made him work extremely hard for his 3-1 win. The main difference between the two was Stacey's fitness and overall agility round the court. Rick Aldred looked as rusty as an Italian Cruise ship. After a snappy start his opponent Graeme English managed to out run Rick and win what looked like a comfortable 3-0 win although Rick lost each game by only one point. Gareth Evans the Stockport County die hard fan with a famous Welsh Rugby name rocked up to take on our skipper Jan Butler. Gareth is a crisp hitter of the ball and on the night Jan was unable to find her usual array of lobs and drops to trouble the Prestbury  man losing out 3-0.
On a slightly disappointing note, Prestbury's team had all left the club before the final game and were generally not very good hosts except for Gareth who kept us amused with his tales of following Stockpot County in the vague hope that the glory days would return - good on 'yer Gareth.....
