This half season was much more relaxed than previous ones for the only remaining team representing the Trowbridge club in the Wiltshire league. All 10 matches were played using the same trusty six players as last year throughout – it is very unusual for a team to play so many matches utilising such a small squad.( Hint Hint – volunteers please).

At the mid-point of the season we were sitting on top of the table. In fairness, we had played a couple of matches more than the eventual winners – South Marston- but this was the strongest performance we had ever achieved in Division 2. Tom Oatley and Rich Edwards were holding their own (though that sometimes made serving difficult) against strong opposition at numbers 1 and 2 and Mark McGuinness had yet to be beaten at 3.

Highlights of the season were probably Mark’s victory against Pat Carty to secure match points against South Marston and Bruce Isaac’s win at 5 over Wessex’s Mark Cains. Both were hard fought 3-2 wins.
The low point was when Mark succumbed to Steve McCourt (Marlborough) in match 9 and lost his unbeaten record. Rumour has it that he was less than chuffed!

We ended the season in fourth place 19 points clear of Chippenham in fifth who in turn were more than 50 points clear of Nighingale in sixth.

All in all a great half season and good fun throughout.
