Clarkston 6 Win at home to VA Lanarkshire 6 - 3

The slightly younger and hairier Viking warrior look-a-like Ken Dundas stepped up to fill in for Tom MacPherson who is currently away (enjoying the sunshine and rumor has it a tipple or two). Ken partnered Gordon James (who admitted he was "pish" in the first set), and took the match 4 - 6, 6 - 4 and 6 - 2.
 
Craig Beaton and Neil Miller both served consistently to ensure the next three sets were wrapped up efficiently to take their match and secure the tie with all three sets, 6 - 2, 7 - 4  and 7 - 5.
 
Alan King and Ewan Wilson had chances to take all three sets. A nervy game cost them in the first and lost on the tie-break. A head-doctor is being called in to counsel the boys after they inexplicably lost the second 6 - 1, but regained their composure to take the last 6-4 an win a valuable point that secured 3rd place in the league.
 
With a game in hand over 2nd placed David Lloyd, its all to play for.
