Melbourn II lost 0-12

Melbourn 2nds travelled to Biggleswade for the opening match of the Summer League.
Sean Hamilton (2) made a slow start against Chris Hunt and was soon 0-6 down. He then settled into his game and fought back to level the score. As the game progressed,    Sean was often undone by high deep lobs to the back of the court. He lost the first game and the next 2    games followed a similar pattern, match lost 0-3.
Roger Woodfield (3) started well enough against Jack Wright. The players were evenly matched and both made some unforced errors. The players tracked each other’s scores until the end of the game when Roger missed critical opportunities and lost the game 11-15. Strangely, the next 2 games ended up the same way, match lost 0-3.
Thomas    Higginson (1) was pitched against Marcus Gary, an extraordinarily talented player drafted in from a higher Biggleswade team. Marcus’s ball control and positioning was remarkable. Once again, great use of the deep lob put huge pressure on Thomas who chased and fought for everything. Very entertaining, this contest often involved long hard rallies, often at great pace. Thomas played very well but could not break his opponent’s game down. The 0-3 result does not do justice to the way Thomas competed.
Skipper Roger Woodfield said "All in all, this was a tough opening match. On another day we might have snatched a couple of points, but we were well beaten"
