Game Week 06 - Wednesday, 12th October, 2016
A night to forget perhaps as we hit our first real stumbling block. There have been losses before and there will no doubt be more to come but going into this game with an initial target of 7, there was belief we could come out of this one with something. Alas, it wasn't to be.
The night didn't get off to the best of starts with the initial 30-45 minutes of practiced being spent readjusting the new table. Time that maybe should have been spent actually practicing, certainly in the case of our illustrious captain.
The match itself started fairly evenly, Gordon losing the first but Crowther able to peg a '1' back. Sadly that was the only highlight of the first half as we seemed to settle in for a long night. Yours truly being somewhat effected by becoming someones first win of the season (I feel I handled it well though!). Patty was able to claw another one back but Captain Fantastic here made yet another blunder by submitting the completed team sheet before Patty even finished, popping in the doubles to rot alongside me (even as spectacular as my double was!). Hardy rounded off the singles wins going into the 'special' matches, sadly at that point, we had already lost the night.
A massive positive is Craig 'Gary/Dave' Chappell getting the team off the mark with a captains win. Rumours also flying around that team shirts are being opranised along with a "win incentive" or a pound in the pot for every "W" we can rack up.
Still optimistic about the season ahead perhaps the lack of practice on the night summed up the week in general. A little more table time to polish off the rust and we can still certainly cause an upset or two. Especially at The Manor, we certainly don't want to end up with egg on our faces...
