Last Monday both teams again enjoyed victories: Our A Team beat Ecclesfield A 7-1 at MBC whilst our B Team went one better by beating Crookes Social away 8-0. There are no league games this week due to the Bank Holiday however our A Team are in action this Friday evening in the Team Doubles Competition taking on Abbey A which is to be played on Herdings, with a 6.30pm start.
In the Sheffield & Hallamshire League our teams suffered different fates whilst both had problems fielding a side due to holidays and injuries. The A Team ran out 8-2 winners at home to Bradfield B with the B Team losing away at Richmond 7-3. It has to be noted that it was a great effort from both teams under the circumstances with thanks to those who stepped in to help out. This week our B Team are at home to Colley Park whilst the A Team faces a difficult game away to Dronfield Woodhouse.
Staying with the Sheffield & Hallamshire League, it was the first round of the Telegraph Cup with the A Team winning a close match against Whitely Woods A played at Richmond Park; MBC winning 148 – 135.
Our ladies got their season underway with a great team effort on a very quick & tricky green at Whitely Woods, eventually running out 6-3 winners in a match which was closer than the score suggests. Hopefully the good form will continue this Wednesday evening at MBC with Ecclesfield providing the opposition. Our ladies continued their fine start to the season with a 7-2 victory at home to Ecclesfield which at times was not as easy as the score suggests, particularly in the earlier stages of the game. This week there is no game as it is a bye week.
Our Vet’s enjoyed a couple of victories last week, firstly winning 6-4 away at Crookes Social on Wednesday afternoon. In the Presto Doubles on Friday they made it a 5 from 5 winning start with a more comfortable win against Crookes Social, this time on home turf by 10-0. This Wednesday our Vet’s are at home Vs Wadsley House A, whilst on Friday they are away to Crookesmoor A, both games starting at 1.30pm.
On Saturday the big news was Yvonne Hamilton’s fine 21-6 winning performance for the C Team who after a slow start ran out 8-4 winners. Some people may not be aware but Yvonne won the sweepstake with her victory! The B Team followed with a 5.00pm start against Crookesmoor A and ran out comfortable winners with an 11-1 score line in their favour. Last but certainly not least our A Team enjoyed a decent 9-3 win on a tricky Laycocks.
At the time of writing, it is unclear what the fixtures are due this coming Saturday to seeking agreements regarding start times due to the South Yorkshire Cup, but the best picture of the situation is as follows: The C Team is away at Ecclesfield with a 1.30pm start. The B Team play Abbey A in the SY Cup at 10:30 am at Millhouses, then play Stocksbridge Friendship away at 14:00 proposed start. The A team only have a SY cup game this Saturday as Thurgoland B have cancelled the league fixture. So the A team will take on Treeton at Carlton Park in Barnsley at 14:00.
Support is always welcome! UTC!
