Tuesday 3rd
STALLIONS 6-0 WHOREFC
The Stallions galloped their way to a convincing victory over WHOREFC in a fine evening’s Fives. A strong showing from Nick Shaw, Carl Rennie, Spencer Chapman and Justin Shaw (despite a slight injury concern) was too much for WHOREFC, with dominant spin shots, good footwork and positioning, and strong pressure play. Despite some resistance in the middle and last games, with Jonny Saunders and Sam Basu and Simon W-T and Jonny Saunders reaching 8 apiece, it was always going to be the Stallions’ night.
N. Shaw & S. Chapman 15-1 S. W-T & S. Basu
C. Rennie & J. Shaw 15-4 J. Saunders & M. Leon
N. Shaw & J. Shaw 15-8 J. Saunders & S. Basu

Dossi’s Desperados 6-0 Studs
The following evening, the Studs were unable to match the success of their equine counterparts, losing 6-0 to Dossi’s Desperados, despite some good efforts all round. Gareth Hoskins and Charlotta Cooley provided the strongest resistance, taking Ant Theodossi and Luke Stradwick to a hard-fought 10 in their first match, but a strong all-round Desperados side kept the Studs from galloping to victory.
