Venue:    Southwick

The match was played on a beautiful sunny day. The Southwick lawns had just been prepared for the National Seniors championship starting the following morning so with hoops set to 1/16th inch some of the players struggled with their longer hoop runs.
 
At lunchtime Watford had taken a 2-1 lead. The afternoon session created an exciting finish with the match drawn 4 all and the A team pairing of Ian Parkinson and Daphne Gaitley going into a third game. Evntually Daphne won the day for SCCC 7-4.
 
It was a great, close match with some high quality play from both sides.
