DIVISION THREE

Apollo Blinds Vikings C 13

Quine & Cubbon Rushen B 5

The visitors started well with a good win at second men’s, but only after a strong fightback in the second game from Roy McClean/Benjamin Race just losing out 18/21 to Dave Leigh/Yanchun Wang.

Vikings then won all the other levels quite convincingly.

At fourth mixed the Rushen pair of Yanchun/Megan Howland won the first game 21/15, but McClean/Samantha Spellman fought back well to win in three.

Third and second went comfortably to Vikings with strong play from Race/Hayley Brophy and Fiona Brew/Neil Brew beating Leigh/Julia Carrol and Tim Woakes/Michelle Blyth respectively.

The closest game of the night came at first mixed where Mark Falconer/Melissa McKnight lost out to the away pair Steve Leece/Karen Murphy in the third 19/21.

A good match with Karen Murphy from Rushen and Neil Brew from Vikings getting players of the match. [NB]
