Badge Round 7

/in , /by

At the half way point of Badge we have two Manly teams coming first in their divisions:  our Ladies 2 Team captained by Julie Porteous and our Mens 3 Team captained by Steve Nettleton. 

Four other Manly teams are also in the top 3.This has been a good start but there is still a long way to go to the finals.  All captains by now should know which pairs are performing well and try new combinations if needed.

The highlights of last Saturday’s play were:

  • Julie’s team winning 7-1 to stay on top of the ladder.  Julie and Olivia won 3 sets and Krista and Kristina won 2 sets easily and won 2 on forfeit.
  • Steve Nettleton’s team defeated Manly 4, 6 sets to 2.  The two Steves won 4 sets again to take their record to 11 from 12.
  • The Mens 1 team played a draw.  Bosko and Andrew Riminton won 4 sets to keep up their winning record.

This Saturday the Mens and Ladies Division 1 teams both play at home in late matches.

Good luck to all teams this weekend

Mens 5  Won 4-3 v Strathfield at home.  Gavin and Tom won 3 sets including 6-1 6-0 in the last two sets to ensure a win as Carl and Joao won 1 set and had an unfinished set. The points are so close in this grade that every set counts.

Mens 8 Lost 4-4 on games v Strathfield at home.  A close result that went down to the wire.  Ray Dalgairns and Bob Amaral won 3 sets and Rob Hill and Dessie won 1 set. This sets up an intriguing match next Saturday between the two Manly Teams at noon.  Who will play for each team?

Won 4-4 by 1 game at home v Roseville.  Michelle and Lindy won 2 sets as did Jane and Pam. Jane and Pam won a last set tiebreaker (7-5) to win the match. The ladies are in 2nd place.
