Triple win’s for Masters Team’s

Nott’s Masters over 40s, 50s and 65s teams all played on Sunday 3rd December.
The 40s travelled to Bedfordshire, while the 50s and 65s entertained Suffolk and Worcestershire 2nd team respectively at Chilwell Olympia.

The 40s had a hard battle against Bedfordshire. After the level doubles, Nott’s won one Men’s and two Ladies doubles – score 5-3 to the Home side, with Nott’s needing to win all four remaining Mixed rubbers to win the match outright. A big ask, they came away with a fantastic 6-6 winning draw, when they won three of the remaining four Mixed rubbers. It then came down to points. Rubbers 6-6, games 12-12, points Nott’s 450 - Bedfordshire 431.
Great win.
The team next play Away to Leicestershire on 4th February.

The 50s team proved to be too strong for Suffolk. They won all four Men’s, three Ladies and one Mixed rubbers. Unfortunately, in the Mixed category, Alan Bowmer had to retire after winning the first set due to injury. In addition, Andy Cokayne sustained an injury in the level doubles and pulled out of the Mixed. Nott’s won the match 8-4.
The 50s next play Away against their main rivals Cambridgeshire on 17th December.

The 65s opened their season with an excellent win against Worcestershire 2nd team. They won two Mens, all three Ladies and all three Mixed rubbers, resulting in a convincing 8-1 win to the Home side.
