Howard 5
St Andrews 4
Hybrid Division 1
This was one of those games full of "what ifs". Overall, it was a tight game with 6 of 9 rubbers going to best of 3. Gerry started his 2nd consecutive game for us and he was my first partner. We bulldozed our way through the first rubber 14-21 21-9 18-21 and it was a similar story when I partnered Claire for my mixed rubber, winning 21-19 15-21 10-21.
Playing over 3 courts, the match was progressing very quickly, and we fought back well from being 2-4 down to levelling at 4-4. The stage was nicely set for me to once again be the hero by winning all 3 of my rubbers. I was optimistic as I would be partnering Kaz, but things aren't always that simple. A shame nobody told us the match was on our heads, or we might've tried harder! Kaz and I won the opening game of the final rubber well, 8-21 but then lost the middle portion 21-15 and contrived to lose the final game 21-19, meaning we lost the match by the smallest of small margins - all of 2 points.
