Report
 
Report: Suoer match played in great spirits by both teams. Tim is on form at the moment - and despite Paul working hard to retrieve the ball, Tim's hold and trademark length and volley boast gave him a 3-0 victory. Adrian started very well against Martin and seemed to be in charge but Martin's attack on Adrian's serve and his superb reach for the ball kept him very much in the match, taking the third 15-12. It was a close affair in the fourth but Adrian changed his serve and Martin gave away many points trying to end the rally on the return of serve. Wel played both but Adrian's variety of shot especially hard hit low boasts proved the difference. As two it was a match of very skilled players; Ian's strong powerful wrist shots changing direction and straight drives v Mike's winning returns and hard hit drives. both players suffered from fatigue and Ian's trademark 'dives' must have been exhausting. Mike's lengths and drops proved decisive in the end. At one Will's power took Gordon out in the first game but Gordon slowed the game down and with some errors from Will it was 1-1. Gordon controlled the game in the third and much of the fourth but a couple of superb volleys from Will changed the game and he took the fourth. In the fifth it was nip and tuck for the first points before Gordon pulled away to get an exciting win for Penzance 2. Great matches, great food and great company. Thanks Bodmin.
