Essex Mixed Five-Oh

Our Essex Mixed team moved to 5 wins, zero loses last night with a 6-3 victory away at Dragons but the final scoreline doesn't quite reflect a tight match with a few nervous moments with the scores standing at 3-3.

The night didn't start to plan as top pair Michelle and Simon lost their first set 11-21 in a whirlwind of smashes but recovered with a change of tactics to take the next two sets comfortably. Playing slightly out of the usual order, Kate & Martin won their first but then lost the next two and Julia C and Alex were unlucky against Dragons top pair leaving us all tied at 3 each.

The last set of matches all went our way, thanks in particular to Julia and Alex coming out ahead in a tense battle against Donna O'Sullivan and Lee Price.

Scorecard

The next two matches are against new team Danbury, currently unbeaten, and the tough tie against Leighway.

Junior Challenge Match

Our junior club played the latest round of the Federation Junior Challenge Cup on Saturday. Our team was made up by Giorgia, Ellen, Jack, Sam and Lewis.

We narrowly lost to Chipmunks by the odd rubber (9-8) and had a convincing win over Blackwater (14-2). There were some very close games especially Lewis's 25-23 win over Adaam from Chipmunks.

Many thanks to Chipmunks for hosting the event at Highwoods and to all our players.
