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.
