Clarkston 6 took important points but were disappointed not to take much more in a 5-4 defeat at home to VA Milngavie. The four points mean Clarkston sit in 3rd place just 3 points behind David Lloyd, and with two to play.
Inconsistent and questionable line calls, and poorly timed toilet breaks had a detrimental effect on the quality and enjoyment factor for this tie. A higher than usual number of points were subject to "Play Two", and there were several unexpected exchanges across the net (that were not rallies). A near 10 minute Milingavie toilet brake when Clarkston were 6 love up in a first set tie-break sums up the evening. Craig Beaton commented at the time that it was the least enjoyable tennis he had ever been involved in. Enough said.
