Played Tuesday 21st January.
Dan Cusack (-6) was up against Martin Davison (-7)
Some great rallies in this one. The score line does not tell the whole story. Dan had opportunities but just didn’t play the right shot at the right time and Martin somehow scrambled through despite being under pressure rally after rally. Entertaining game 21-11, 21-18 to Martin.
Peter Archbold (-10) v a fresh legged Nick Humphrey (+4)
Nick got off to a fantastic start killing many of Peter’s slightly loose shots, his width and length not quite there. Nick chopped everything to the front. Peter got nowhere near reducing the handicap deficit in the opener. 21-4 to Nick.
Second game Peter steadied the ship and slowly and carefully (no mistakes and better length) levelled the score sheet, all square at 10-10. Peter carried on in similar fashion and took the game 21-16. At minus 1-12 down in the third Peter looked in trouble however an 8pt sprint changed all that. It was all square by 14-14 and Pete went on to take it 21-16. Nick did have chances, tiredness lead to the odd error. I’m told Pete slept well that night.
