The club’s run of two consecutive matches without defeat ended spectacularly when the D team lost ignominiously on Thursday. A bit OTT?
Maybe so, but North Meols ‘C’ did claim a 6-4 victory, with the experience of Les Lord and a good performance by Andy Stuart forming a solid foundation for their win. Southport’s Tom Banton got his money’s worth, coming back from 2-0 down to beat Bill Dawson 11-2 in the fifth set. Andy Hickey had an easy win over John Hepple, but John and Bill steadied their nerve to take an unexpected doubles win off the visitors. Southport left wondering where it had all gone wrong!
