The first S League (3 person AC) match of the season took place on Monday 17 June at home against Merton, and we can report that our team of Simon Ling, Frank Burch and Mike Barnard were successful, winning 3 matches to 1.
The morning doubles was our only loss, but Frank and Mike were ahead by 4 points when time was called only for their opponents to make a winning break of 5 hoops in their final turn.
In the afternoon, fortified by an excellent lunch provided by Claire Brugger (to whom we are very grateful), both the doubles pairing of Frank and Simon, and Mike in the singles (even though the latter was up against the opponent responsible for the last minute 5 hoop break), were both victorious. Our next match is away against Cheam on Friday 28 June…
