Division Two
Warriors Win Battle Against Saracens
Cheltenham F completed a solid 7-3 victory over Tirley Tigers. Alan Harvey claimed a maximum, and he was well supported by Matt Mulcahy, who won twice. James Bird played up from Division Three for Cheltenham, replacing the unavailable Richard Gummow, and he picked up a creditable win over Janie Kirby. Len Agg was in good form for Tirley, winning twice, but he wasn’t good enough to overcome Harvey.

Winchcombe Wizards continued their dominance of the division with a convincing 7-3 win over Tewkesbury A. Stewart Ratcliffe was in fine form, winning all three of his games, including a good victory over Rob Amphlett. He was well supported by Nick Davidson, who claimed a brace. Amphlett won his other two games for Tewkesbury, whilst John Goodchild picked up a fine straight sets win over Jacqui Carver. Ratcliffe and Davidson combined well to take the doubles in four games.

Cheltenham D stormed to a 9-1 victory against club rivals Cheltenham E. John Gaskell and Dave Green claimed maximums, but Gaskell was pushed all the way by the unfortunate Andy Dyke, who played extremely well but took nothing away from the evening’s play. Mike Fry won twice for the D team, losing his side’s only point 13-11 in the fifth set of a titanic battle against Christine Williams.

Winchcombe Warriors completed a good 7-3 victory against Saracens D. Richard Bishop continued in his rich vein of form, winning all three for Winchcombe, and he was well supported by John Teare who won twice. Mark Nally was the pick of the Saracens players, winning twice, albeit 12-10 in the fifth set against Teare. Tony Iles picked up Saracens’ other point with a good win over Dick Prior. Bishop and Teare were too strong for Nally and Iles in the doubles.

CCS A claimed an important 7-3 win against struggling Saracens C. Dave Hart was the pick of the players, claiming an easy maximum. Phil King won twice for CCS A and Jeremy Turberville chipped in with one win. Dave Foulser was the pick of the Saracens players, and won twice despite being injured. Dave Cosnette picked up their other point with a good five-set win over Turberville. Cosnette battled well after being 2 games down and 10-3 down in the third match to win 12-10 and the remaining matches of the set.
