1st team v Bromley Pavilion (Away) - 14 November 06
We travelled to Bromley hoping to extend our recent run of success against the leisure centre side but came away with our tails between our legs and a 1/4 drubbing.
Bob Scott started promisingly at #5 against Mike Watts but, after winning the first game, Bob wasn't in the match as his opponent reeled off a string of winners to draw first blood for Bromley.
Peter Conway went 0/2 down against Garth, came back to make it 2/2 and then, just as we expected Peter to draw away and win the 5th, his calf muscle went and Garth won the decider 9/0.
Mark Johnson was in sparkling form against Rich Hailston at #4 and won 3/1.
Chris Skiller looked to have the match in the bag against Mike Schmidt at #3 as he served at 2/0 and 8/5 in the 3rd. A lucky nick saw Mike get the serve back and it was all downhill from there as Chris went on to lose 2/3.
Rich Oatey seemed to have left his mind in Nottingham and his body somewhere else as he went down 0/3 to Hylton Forrester in a very tame defeat. The Bromley man played well but Rich did not show what he is capable of.
