Jim celebrated his (about 65th) birthday with an excellent win in the Monday Night Social League match at home to Catcliffe (on 26th June). In a nailbiter, Jim won a series of ends up and down the edge in front of the Club House before a pavilion of adoring fans. And his wife Ellen. Jim eventually won to 19.
Jim’s win was the only singles victory although Cei and Linda held off a strong comeback from their opponents in the first doubles game to win 21-20.
Newbie pairing of Paul T and Tom certainly did not disgrace themselves on a freshly cut, concrete-fast green. Andrew and Steve played well. Jon not quite so much, and the final score was a 6-2 defeat for the MP’s against a high-class opposition on a night when Jim’s win was the icing on the cake.
