40s team complete their season with a fine win.

Nott’s Masters over 40s, 50s and 60s teams, all travelled to play Warwickshire, Suffolk and Lancashire respectively on Sunday 17th March; all playing their final league matches of the season.

The 40s team got off to a great start against Warwickshire, winning three men’s and two ladies rubbers, score 5-1 at that stage to the Nott’s side, requiring two more wins out of four to be played in the mixed doubles category.
What a battle that was. Both 1st and 2nd Mixed lost in three ends – score now level at 5-5. Then a fantastic win from Nott’s pair Louise Bolam and Chris Parrott winning their match 20-22 in the third end. Score now 6-5 to Nott’s.
Kathryn Britton and Steve Farey comfortably won the final match of the day in two straight sets, resulting in a good 7-5 win to the Nott’s side.
The win moves the team to 3rd place overall, out of six teams in the Midlands West division – well done team.

Nott’s 50s team travelled to play their final league match against bottom of the league Suffolk. Nott’s proved to be far too strong for the home team, winning the match 12-0.
Prior to this match, the 50s team, having won all their matches in the Midlands East division had already qualified to play Bedfordshire, winners of the Midlands West division, in a Play Off on April 7that Chilwell Olympia, the winning team to go forward to play in the League Finals at Birmingham University over the weekend of April 20/21st.

The 60s team fought hard against 2nd position in the North league Lancashire, six of the twelve rubbers went to three ends; however the overall strength of the opposition proved to be the deciding factor. Lancashire won the match 12-0. The score not reflecting the true strength of the Nott’s team.
Anthony O’Leary pulled a calf muscle at the start of his second men’s match, therefore conceding two rubbers to Lancashire.
