Totton 2 Beat Five Rivers 2 in a close match.
With the away team having higher Gradings in 2 of the strings, Home advantage looked to be needed to take the win. Local knowledge duly defeated the statisticians and the home team came through for a good win.
On paper, the number 3 string should have been the closest, with only 36 ranking points separating the two players before the match.
Home advantage prevailed though, with Mike Soffe winning through.
It was the number 3 String which turned out to be the most competitive, with the Players battling out over a total of 125 Points ! Victory finally going to the Home Player and Player of the match, Mike Soffe.
If the Home No. 2 player, Edd Pooley, had not had to withdraw after 3 game(s) the result could have been closer.
