North Walsham v Wymondham C Home

Thursday 20th July

City League Division 5

Wymondham C home

The end of the season is rapidly approaching and we need wins to stay up.  Wymondham C at home, was a crucial fixture.  We were hit by call offs.  Mary was unavailable and Tony injured.  Mike played his first match of the season.

Rick and I may a good start leading 2-0 but it all unraveled from then on.  We were pulled back to 2-2.  I held serve but our opponents pulled away.  We were in trouble and neither of us was playing well.  We had to settle for a 5-11 defeat, disappointing.

Next door saw a real battle with Charles in good form. The rubber switched one way then the other.  We went down 7-9.  So we trailed 12-20

It was a different story for the 2nd rubbers.  Rick and I were locked in a titanic struggle.  We held the lead but were pegged back.  Some terrific rallies followed as we started our come back.  We had chances to win the rubber, but settled for 8-8

Nick and Mike were 2-2 but pulled away.  The visitors had no answer to our attacking play.  We won 14-2 and the match was ours, 34-30.  A great comeback and a battling display.
