Match Report<br />
21st October (2nds)<br />
Ben Hine<br />
RHUL ULU 1sts baked in the heat<br />
of the ETHOS Imperial College<br />
courts and succumbed to a 3-2 defeat<br />
against Imperial ULU 3rd team.<br />
<strong>The</strong> boys used the time they had to<br />
warm up to try and assess the conditions<br />
and Adam Robin, the number<br />
1, started off the games. He adapted<br />
quickly and won 3 games to 0.<br />
Tim Scarfe, substituting in at<br />
number 5 in the absence of Julie<br />
Peachey at number 1, played next<br />
and fought hard. Unfortunately he<br />
could not capitalise whilst the advantage<br />
was there and lost 3 games<br />
to 1.<br />
Next on was Jamie Pearce who<br />
looked comfortable from the start<br />
and secured a 3 games to 0 victory<br />
making it 2-1 RHUL. Arran Waterman<br />
had to clinch his game to guarantee<br />
victory but was up against a<br />
good player and flu and lost 3 games<br />
to 0, levelling the score 2-2 with<br />
everything on Hugh Gibson’s game.<br />
However it was not the pressure but<br />
the quality of Imperial’s number 3<br />
that led to the game ending 3 games<br />
to 0 in favour of Imperial.<br />

RHUL Men’s 2nds team took on<br />
University of Surrey 2nds team on<br />
the 21st October. Elliot Rawstron<br />
looked close to winning his first<br />
game but the tide eventually turned<br />
against him, the first game ending<br />
13-15 and with a resulting loss of 3<br />
games to 0. Rory Voake’s match unfortunately<br />
took a similar turn and<br />
despite his best efforts and some<br />
promising skill ended 3 games to 0<br />
to Surrey. Finally Surrey confirmed<br />
the defeat with their player beating<br />
Will Walton 3 games to 0 also.<br />
A disappointing result for the 2nds<br />
leaving them with both thinking<br />
and training to do before their next<br />
match.<br />
RHUL Men’s 1sts team sailed<br />
to victory against the University<br />
of Hertfordshire Mens 1sts. Tim<br />
Scarfe won 3 games to 0 against an<br />
inexperienced Hertfordshire player<br />
starting off the winning run. Arran<br />
Waterman recovered from an<br />
individual loss last week to stay<br />
calm and claim his match 3 games<br />
to 0 also. Hugh Gibson, battling<br />
through illness, played a strong defensive<br />
game again leading to a 3<br />
games to 0 win. Jamie Pearce was<br />
on excellent form, showcasing some<br />
great tactical shots, dropping few<br />
points and gaining another 3 games<br />
to 0 victory. Finally the number 1<br />
Adam Robin secured the full house<br />
with a final 3 games to love victory,<br />
after a small wobble in the second<br />
game going to 12-10. RHUL won<br />
overall by 5 – 0 and they are now<br />
2/2, but skills need to be maintained<br />
for some tougher matches yet to<br />
come.
