The match was due to be played at Sandhurst but due
to a problem with their courts, there was a last minute
switch of venue to Camberley Leisure Centre. This did
not daunt the Vets who triumphed 3/2 in a close match.
As usual John Woodliffe and
Lance Kinder got proceedings underway with a
3/0 win quickly followed by David Parker
who was serving exceptionally well and even surprised
himself and won 3/0.
Ash Chakraborty then had a great battle
with Geoff Gill (also a GB Vet) which ebbed and flowed
with Geoff proving too strong in the fifth.
Alan Boulden at No. 1 was in good form
but found Kevin Teale (also a GB Vet) in even better
form and lost 3/0 although the game scores were close.
So 2-2 it was going into the last match where
Ron Walker making his debut for the GB Vets ran
out a 3-0 winner in a match of very short rallies
against Camberley captain Andy Craig (also a GB Vet) to
give Vets a satisfying win.
Afterwards we all adjourned to a local pub for a nice
few drinks and meal.
