19/03/15 - Weald vs Otford B
Gary Pells won a very good counter blocking match v Doug Bloom in the final match of the evening, a four legger full of long rallies and great returns. Gary's mix of blocking, loops and side spin eventually overcoming some Doug's very persistent blocks and moving his opponent around. With Diccon Gray stuck on the motorway it was left to Roger to replace him and try and topple West Kent champion Martin. Another nearly but not quite episode saw Martin nick the first two legs 11-13 and 10-12 before taking the third and final leg. Martin went on to get a treble, dropping a leg to Gary but beating Petar in three. It is understood to be one of Steve Johnson's last ever matches in West Kent, so it was a pleasure to play this very popular figure. Steve beat Petar in four. Doug had to change style playing Roger and find his A(attack) game after losing the first then taking it in four. Blooming left handers was heard mentioned at some point in the evening. Weald 3 Otford B 6.

12/03/15 - Leigh B vs Teen & Twenty C
A good match for Toby Leheup. His hours of practice at the leagues Sunday morning sessions is bearing fruit. John Neal taken to 5 games and yours truly beaten in 3 straight games. Well done Toby.

12/03/15 - Weald vs Otford A
The result did not reflect the quality of TT during the evening of very enjoyable games with good rallies and match ambience throughout. You do not though get points for trying hard as experience shone through. The evening started off as it continued to the end. Mark went 8-2 down to Miro but remaining calm (no it is not a misprint) came back to take it 11-9. Petar took Tyron to five losing 7-11 in fifth after getting the better of two legs 20-18 and 14-12. Similarly Roger had a 2-1 lead against Ty, one at 15-13 and then 9-7 up in the fifth after getting Ty to miss a couple of loops on his own serve. Ty used his get out of jail card and won the fifth in deuce. Roger also succumbed to Mark in five, again from 2-1 up with 12-10 and 15-13 legs before Mark's hard cross court flat hits took their toll. John was not going to be too tested and took all three games 3-0, one against Miro to 1 but Miro had the last word as he took the final game of the night v Tyron in four.

13/03/15 - Barming DV vs Leigh A
A close match that could have gone either way on the night, Barming DV sealing a 5-4 win when Dean Chipperfield scraped past Dave Cowlen 18-16 in the fifth in the last match of the evening.

Well played Sue - very nearly 2 wins. Joe continues to improve in what is only his first season. However, well played Otford C; just too strong for us.

Sweaty Trotters on title charge as main rivals beaten

The Sweaty Trotters gained maximum points on the penultimate evening of the season's doubles competition with wins over top two sides Kapow (3-2) and Tweenies-101 (3-0) as well as The Mariners (3-1) and PINGIT (3-0). This saw them rise from three points behind in third place to level on points with top side Tweenies-101, only behind them on matches won (only 14 compared to 15).

Kapow are only one point behind in third, but with a game in hand. Both they and Tweenies-101 are no doubt well aware that the fate of the title lies in their hands. If Kapow win all their matches at the next meeting, they win the title. If Tweenies-101 win all theirs (beating Kapow 3-0 or 3-1), they are guaranteed first position. The Sweaty Trotters need both sides to slip up, but couldn't be better placed should that occur with their three matches remaining against sides currently in the bottom half of the table.

The Mariners are still mathematically in the race for first place, but will need all three teams ahead of them to slip up badly on the final night.

Barmy Army's poor fortune continued as they were unable to field a team for the third match and will now fight it out with PINGIT to avoid the wooden spoon.

The sixth and final evening of this season's competition will take place on Friday 10th April 2015 at Teen & Twenty Club, Tonbridge.
