SCPA. ABC Wasps v Bordon

The Wasps travelled to Bordon last night for our away game.
It was a warm evening and Bordon terrain is surrounded by trees. Cloud upon cloud of gnats, midges and mozzes descended on our fresh meat and they didn't stop until it was well after dark.
The results Bordon won 6 -3, a few of the matches were timed out and caused some animosity within the ranks.

SCPA. ABC Hornets v Hampshire Rose Raiders

Captain's Log - stardate 19th May - Re: Hornets against Hampshire Rose Raiders. We met up at the Foresters in brilliant sunshine and had a good match against the Raiders. The triples were a bit of a disaster for us, i.e. not winning one! Margaretha, Benny and Joan were beaten 13 - 4 by three ladies from the opposing team who were playing very well. Similarly Tony R. Kath and Ingrid were beaten 13 - 3 by the Raiders Captain and two of their (very good) juniors.

However we pulled our socks up for the doubles and won two out of the three games. Ingrid decided she was the weakest link (not true) and decided to step down.

Joan and Tony played very well to take the game 13 -2 and substitute Carolyn & Kath triumphed over the two juniors 13 - 6. Unfortunately Benny and Margaretha, despite being level pegging for most of the game just didn't manage to clinch it and lost 8 - 13. This gave the Raiders a win by 3 games to 2, we however do pick up 2 points to add to our 9 already earned. The Raiders were third in the league last year being beaten by 1 point by the Wasps who have now been promoted to the 3rd Division, so we feel we put on a good show despite our poor beginning. Next Match after we return from France on June 10th. Carolyn
