Last Saturday 21st November 2009, Chris and Roger represented Hertfordshire in the first round of the 3rd Division Veterans competition at St. Neots Table Tennis Club.
Chris was playing at No.1 and Roger at No.3. with Mark McCarthy at No.2 and June Nelson as the lady in the team.
The County championship has a different order to most events with each man playing two singles, one ladies single, two mixed doubles and a mens doubles. The doubles having a very siginificant role in the eventual outcome of any match.
The first match was Herts 3 vs Cambs 2, with a resounding 8-2 victory for Herts. Roger and Chris winning all their singles and the doubles in straight sets.
The second match against Bucks 2 was a different story. Herts went 4-0 down before Mark McCarthy pulled out the Home teams first set. Herts eventually lost out 6-4 Chris and June losing the final mixed doubles 11-9 in the 5th to miss out on picking up a draw.
Both Roger and Chris ended up with 3 singles wins from 4 and won both the mens doubles. A few pictures below from the day.
