Phyllis Court lost to Bowdon 1-5

[<<] [>>] by Nigel Matthews at Phyllis Court
15 Jun (GC - Inter-Club)

After winning the toss, Phyllis Court hosted the semifinal encounter against Bowdon at their beautiful club. The day started with an Eggs Benedict breakfast on the terrace and a little reluctance by the players to move on to the lawns. I think Alison had sneaked in a glass of bubbly giving her the belief of being able to run hoops from anywhere- which she duly did. The morning was level, with the doubles halted at one game all. Well, we had to return to the terrace for some more Phyllis Court hospitality. The afternoon saw some close games, but Bowdon prevailed, Jack coming back from 6-2 down with some high quality long clearances and hoop running to win the match.

Whilst enjoying yet another beer on the terrace after the game, I wondered if we could arrange to lose the toss again next year?
