Fusion Leisure 3
St Andrews 3
Mens Fours Division 2
A very tricky away match. As captain, I named an above-strength side due to Chris, Ron and Paul being unavailable to play for varying reasons. The team that travelled to Selsdon was me, Steve, Kaz and Anushka. In fairness I advised the Fusion captain of this change to create a closer match...I got my wish! They ended up with a side full of youthful enthusiasm, with an average age probably 10-15 years below ours.
Fusion started very strongly against our top 2 men Steve & Kaz, winning the first game 21-13 17-21 21-5. Not to be denied I went on with Anushka and won in another best of 3, 20-22 21-17 16-21. Steve and Anushka couldn't keep this momentum up though and lost in straight games. I won with Kaz and Steve in the next two rubbers to ensure we at least had a point for our efforts, but unfortunately Kaz & Anushka couldn't convert the final rubber into a 4-2 win.
A fairly good result overall, against a spirited and determined opposition.
