With clouds looking dark, but the air feeling fresh and warm, Tuesday 23/07/2024 saw the second MVC summer Champs take place (thank you weather….). The nets were set up, the courts cleaned of sticks, and the balls were squeezed…. Round 4 is ready to begin!
A simpler format for matches this time, saw players choose a card, and for each match, cards were shuffled & dealt into team piles to determine the next team.
The club welcomed another group of players into the grand prix, and saw some returning players.
Lewis narrowly took 3rd spot 1 point ahead of Ben, Gareth put a very strong performance in getting second with 142 points, but is was Manu who managed to rack up the most points throughout with a 155 for the evening!
A few players missed the first or last games, which made quite a difference, with the average score per team per game being 22 points, but the biggest difference being 14 points in a 31-17 game, and the tightest being the very last game at 19-18, with a golden point played at the buzzer.
Let’s see who – weather permitting – can make some moves as we head into the next round…..
