There were some great games Chris against Carl was a tight match with Chris winning in 4 sets , 11-13,15-13,14-12 and 11-9. All players were somewhat amazed at the speed of hitting from Ryan, both forehands and backhands appeared to be rocket driven.
The Diss First Division found it harder losing 6 - 3 with each Diss Player winning a match each. However 3 of their losing matches were close going to five sets. It was a good display and could have gone either way. Dennis and Alan both beat Darren and Terry beat Mick. Andrew was the most successful player winning all his matches although was taken to five by Terry and Alan.
