Torpoints Mens A team were back in action on Monday night, away to the University B team. We had some bad news before the match when we heard that James had to pull out due to a back injury, but Ethan gladly stepped in to take his place.
The University team were not at full strength having to use three players from a lower team, which did weaken their team but the games would still be close.
Torpoint started well with Joe and Jason winning both of their opening games. Andy and Ethan were next and won both ends. Joe was then back out with Andy and narrowly missed out on two points by winning the first end and losing the second 21-23. After a while sitting out, due to only using one court, Jason was back out with Ethan and they both managed another comforatable two points for the team.
We were able to use two courts for the final two pairs of Joe & Ethan and Jason & Andy. Jason and Andy managed to finish on a high by claiming another two points while Joe and Ethan fought hard but sadly lost both ends.
The final score was 9-3 to Torpoint which was the A teams first victory of the season. Everybody played really well, especially Ethan in only his second league match for the club.
We wish all the best for James and hope that he is fit for the next match against Liskeard on Monday.
