Deeside A (Flintshire) v Mold A
We got off to a good start to the season with an 8-0 victory at Mold last Thursday night.
Everyone put in steady performances but it was reassuring to have the established pairings of Jill & Dave and Mel & Gareth Thomas in the mixed and Jill & Mel in the ladies to rely on. The team has changed a lot since last season so it will be interesting to see how it all settles down.
Martin and Gareth Burroughes at 1st mens got off to a slow start, with Molds John Savory & Tom Peace catching them napping and taking a quick 6-1 lead in the first game. This didn’t faze Martin & Gareth at all though and they took 1st mens comfortably in two games.
Worth a particular mention was Melissa Caswell’s charge across most of the court to pick up a cracking drop shot in her mixed and return it with a winning cross-court net shot.
I didn’t see all of the games so if anyone has anything to add, feel free.
A good solid performance all round – thanks team!
