Luckily we fluked a bye in the first round of this years Beckly Cup which got us to this round against BATS at our place. For those who don't know, its a different format to league games. All games are mixed. All 3 pairs play each other, instead of best of 3 games we just play 2 games. All points scored are added up cumulitively and totalled at the end. Finally an envelope is opened with a handicap of plus X points to the team with the weakest league position, also taking into account missing or additional players and the home advantage. Anyway, to cut a long story short.....excellent games, all of which were close. Final scores were Torpoint 187 - BATS 196. Torpoint got +72 hanicap and won the match 259 - 196 overall. We progress to the semi-final!!!!

It was our turn to make the long drive at night and bad weather throught the lanes to Bere Alston. Luckily there was no fog and we made it there fine to face the same young BATS team we played earlier in the season. A couple of changes to our team again, meant Laurie played his first match for the club, unfortunately at very short notice. Carol & Lesley also stood in for the ladies. After a number a good games (even with plastic shuttles) and a good fight from the young side we finally came away with a 2-7 victory. Thanks again to Laurie, Rod, Lesley and Carol for playing mostly at short notice. Oh I had no picture so here are some bats.....

A completely fresh looking team for this match as it was Torpoint Badminton Christmas Party night and half the usual team were going. (We'd much rather be playing badminton than getting drunk and snogging Mike). But it was a good opportunity for other regular club members to experience a competitive match (and eat the usual good spread at YMCA!). All games were good but a particular shout out to Carol, Wendy and Anne who took 2 games off YMCA, which isnt easy when you take into account YMCAs experience, home advantage and plastic shuttle practice....... Final score 7-2 win to YMCA B.
A big thank you to all that played, especially at short notice.
Didnt take a picture, so heres a lovely one of Mike
