Match Report - Shelly Telly v Newton Flotman B
21/02/2008, played at Todd Room, Miller Hall.
Shelly Telly drew with Newton Flotman B 5-5.
After Colin Jenkinson's shock defeat last week (he waws ill - honest!) Shelly Telly were forced to take drastic action to ensure they retainedtheir status as team with an unbeatable player. Tonight's match saw the debut of Jeanette Baxter. Its been 20 years since she played competative table tennis and she's been coaxed out of retirement by Shelly Telly's fun and friendly monthly club nights. Baxter has a baptism of fire - her first game was against veteran John Williams hho used all the weapons in his arsenal to try and defeat her. We were on the edge of our seats as they duelled relentlessly. Baxter finally beat him in 5 sets. She completed her maximum with a win against young James Ridgeon who was so delighted with the recently replemished Shelly Telly refreshments bag that he ate a dozen bars of chocolate between games. The young lads of Newton Flotman are improving at lightning speed and David Hawkes was very impressive against Savage and Cunningham. Shelly Telly came away with a draw and the message is "watch out division 4". With Baxter and Jenkinson in the team, the only way is up!!
