It's been a mixed couple of weeks for the Men's 6th team...

A good team performance at Lee on Solent saw us pick up 17 points with a 3-2 win against a decent Lee team.  There were convincing victories for Ian Garnham, Allan Hawkey and John Titchener.  Trevor Leahy lost 3-2, but battled hard and did well to pull back two games from 2-0 down to former Winchester player Emily Heyes.
Then last Sunday evening, the strategically timed fire alarm at Five Rivers just before the start of the match put us off our stride against our promotion rivals (the fire engine never did turn up!).  We lost 4-1, with the only highlight of the evening being a solid 3-0 win by Tim Cooling at number 2.
That result still leaves us top of the division, but with Five Rivers level on points but with one win fewer.  Both Nuffield Health teams are close behind, and Avenue have 3 games in hand so could still mount a challenge.  So it's going to be a tight race for promotion which could go down to the wire.
