The GC Federations Shield moves on

18/7/2021

0 Comments

 
 On a sunny day the holders High Wycombe met Crake Valley from the north west on neutral ground at Ashby CC.  High Wycombe was represented by Michael Bowker, Marc Allan,  Mark Higgins and Nigel Clogg.  Nigel, playing his first competitive match,  had come to the rescue just two days before when Keith Pound had had to withdraw after a Covid-19 test.   

As previously agreed, the singles took place in the morning with honours shared 2-2 at lunch.

In the afternoon solid performances by Sandra Cornes and Simon Robins saw Crake Valley win both singles to take the match.

At that time, a very interesting and close contest was ongoing between David Cornes and Frank Sharps (CV) and Michael Bowker & Mark Higgins (HW) with the score 6-7, 7-3. It was, however, agreed to curtail the contest as both teams had long journeys home and the Ashby club's members had arrived for their regular "roll up" session.

Final score Crake Valley 4.5 High Wycombe 2.5 so a new name will appear on the shield in 2021.

Thanks to David Cornes for this match report
