Another good match against a very strong Devonshire side. Having recently emalgamated the two different Devonshire clubs, they now have a strong group of players to pick from and they certainly brought them. A very friendly and fair team, and all the games were very close. Although not a permanent change, we are looking to introduce others to matchplay, a notable excellent debut from Lesley, she played very well. Three matches went to 3 games and we were unlucky not to snatch at least one of them. Both teams noticed the shuttles were particularly fast but no excuses they beat us fair and square, although the scoreline does not reflect how close the match was in any way. Final score 9-0 win to Devonshire!! We'll have em at their place.......

Its always enjoyable to play the University as they bring with them players from other parts of the country with alot of talent, making for some very difficult games. Tonights was no exception! Joe & Simon won the first, and were very happy with their performance, playing well together as a pair. Joe & Dan also played very well together but well well matched by the Uni students. It went to three and was very close losing 11-15 in the third. JT broke his 2 week old raquet during this match but it must be noted it wasnt through anger, just a clash of raquets! All the ladies played very well and showed the students that experience counts for a lot. The first two of three mixeds were won by Torpoint and the third was looking good for Dan & Joan when the game was ended early as court time had run out at the Mayflower Centre and the game conceeded to Torpoint. Final score 8-1 win to Torpoint!!

BATS fielded an encouragingly young side again, reassuring us that badminton is still fun for younger generations to take up. Alan Berry being the only experienced player in the BATS team did not make it a pure walkover, their up and coming new players fought for every point and certainly did themselves justice. Alan made a nice comment that 'Torpoint players appreciated playing the youngsters and allowed some good long rallies to develop.' Final score 9-0 win to Torpoint, by no means a reflection of the young players.

A twisted ankle to Andy from builders in the 3rd match contributed to the men winning all three of their games although they had already won the first two. Whilst the ladies had it tougher and won one out of three of theirs. As Andy was still injured, one mixed was an automatic win for Torpoint but the other two matches were far from automatic!! Dan & Julie had a close game but unfortunately lost 11-15, 9-15, and the first mixed was very very close, with Joe & Audrey forcing a third decider at 17-14 and pulling through to win the third 15-13. All in all, excellent games and a friendly team to play. Final score 6-3 win to Torpoint!!
