We got off to a good start at El Rancho with Phil Morrachan beating John Rudkin of Greenlands. Next up was John Withers who comfortably beat Tony Metcalfe - husband of Spanish coach Pat.
News came through from Greenlands that Ian Young had withdrawn due to a health problem and that John Featherstone had lost to Len Rudge of El Rancho, but Colin Highland had beaten D Salmon of Bonalba.
Next up at El Rancho was Derrick Cooper (San Luis Club Captain) playing Eddie Breslin of Albir, losing by the short margin of 21-18.
At the same time Allen went on to play Alan Pugh of Horadada, and a colourful game this was.
Allen struggled to get into his stride and with Alan playing well it looked as though the match would be all over quickly, but Allen eventually found his length and started to pick up shots. He kept going getting ever closer and scored a 3 to close the match to 20-18 down before Alan got the final shot needed to win. A brilliant fight back but a loose game early on left Allen with too much to do.
Throughout the competition the San Luis spectators club have been present at the mens matches and I am sure the players have appreciated this support. Just one thing - the ladies could do with some support too.
Only Keith & Audrey Roberts and June & David Whitworth have been to support us - plus the husbands/partners of course.
