Senior County Team Report 18-10-09

The IOW County Badminton team started the season with a great start at home to Somerset.

It Started well with the men’s singles Paul Royl and Chris Massey winning both games. However Vicky Law and Jane Jackson put up a brave fight but were over powered in their singles games. Paul, then joined with Kes Downer in the doubles swiftly dispatched both of Somerset’s pairs as did Richard Gray and Ian Walder in their 2 matches.

The Ladies doubles was a tighter contest, Jane Jackson now joined with Ady White beating Somerset’s first pair in a nail biting 3 sets, but then narrowly losing to their 2nd Pair. Karin Murrant and Caroline Pearson put in a great fight against both pairs taking them to 3 sets in each but narrowly missing out.

Finally the mixed games where Ian and Ady, Paul and Jane both won their mixed games with ease. Kes and Karin took their game to 3 but just losing out in the end, giving an overall victory of 9-6 to the IOW.

Jane Jackson was named Player of the Match by Martin Taylor County Manager.
