This was a crunch match for the Vets 3, a win would leave us in position to win the league, a draw would hand the initiative to Oakwood and a loss would be unthinkable!

The team was Andy f and fuzz, Colin s and I, ably supported by Dave W.

After two matches we had two draws. you might watch Shakespeare on BBC 2, but you won’t match this for drama.

Colin and I won the first set of our 2nd match, but fuzz and Andy lost theirs. Colin and I were battling away in our 2nd set, but we heard that Andy and fuzz were 5-1 down, Colin and I had to win just to get a draw.

We heard roars coming from Andy and fuzz as they fought themselves back into contention and then went onto a magnificent 7-5 2nd set win to draw their match.

This meant if Colin and I took our 2nd set, Bexleyheath would win the match overall.

The 2nd set was evenly balanced at 4 each. Bexleyheath went 5-4 up, we had a match point but didn’t capitalise. Before we knew we were in a tie break, and of course the tie break went to 6-6………

The opposition took the tie-break 8-6 so the match was drawn

Great performance from the team, heads held high.
