Gents 5th Team Report
Before a ball was hit in the first match of the season for the newly
promoted fifths the grapevine was in overdrive. The opponents
Cardross, it was rumoured, in recent years had played in a much higher
division, two years ago their coach was playing for Helensburgh in
Division 1 and now was playing third couple in this team!
All these rumours turned out to be true and resulted in a comprehensive
9-0 defeat for the plucky Clarkston team. Despite being clearly out
gunned the home team showed great resilience and throughout the match
began to improve, increasing games won in the second and third sets.
The most impressive display was from debutants Neil and Ehsin who had
three set points at third against the hugely experienced and capable
Cardross pair.
So although not a good start in terms of score the signs for the season
ahead are very positive. We are extremely unlikely to come up against
another team of that ability again in this division and If we can
perform at the levels we showed in this match we should collect a very
healthy set score
