Lots of quality play in the first 2 sets in particular, Matt using his backhand to great effect and me coming up with a few good passing shots. Second set was quite attritional with lots of long rallies as we both tried to get the upper hand. Final set was more straightforward as Matt tired following a period on the sidelines with illness. Overall, a tough match and happy to get the win on this occasion. Look forward to playing again soon Matt :)" -- Lee

After a good start, Callum seemed to lose confidence in some of his shots after a few mistakes which I was able to take advantage of - perhaps by just being a little more consistent. I kept up the advantage from the start of the second set but there were signs that Callum was playing his way into the match so I was happy to break in the final game and not have to serve it out! Thanks or the match Callum and for suggesting the change in schedule due to the forecast!" -- Lee

But that hardly mattered - this was a match played in a very good-humoured spirit. A pleasure to meet you, Liam - and good luck with the rest of the campaign! " -- Eve
