CUMBRIA 1ST TEAM - 2011/2012

Cumbria 1 v Yorkshire 5

After being relegated to Division 3 Group A this seasons fixtures began with a match against Yorkshire at Appleby Sports Centre. The match started with the singles and these were shared with Dave Poniznik losing a close game 17 – 21 16- 21.  Greg Reynolds (Barrow) making his debut for the first team had a good win.  He lost a close first set 17 – 21 but stuck to the task and won the next two sets 21 – 19,  21 – 17.  In the ladies singles Ashlea Chester had a fine win 21 – 7 and 21 – 9, while Jackie Sewell went down 11 - 21 and 16 - 21.

We were down 3 – 1 after the first round of the doubles.  Although there were some good games the only victory we gained came through Nicola Highmore/Louise Jackson who then went on to win their other doubles .   In the mens cross over John Parkinson and Steve Chappell won after a close game. We were then 7 – 5 down in the match and needed to win all three mixed for victory –however, only Dave Poniznik and Jackie Sewell  won there game and the match score finished 10 – 6.

At least the team kept going and managed to take a point from the match which they deserved.
