ABERCORN 12v3 BORDER REIVERS
The Border Reivers were brought back down to earth this week after there clean sweep victory over Grange 5s last week. The Reivers were without a couple of key players and Abercorn team all played well on the same night.
Reivers Captain Del Sharratt lost the first match 3-0 to Daniel Taylor, this was Daniel’s debut in the East Leagues, but he has shown he is a more than capable team player and staked a claim for a more regular game. Del just seemed too stiff and rigid and couldn’t get into his stride during the match.
The next game was Piers Wilkinson v Tom Clemens, although the City boy Clemens won 3-0 this was far closer match with the games 15-12, 15-13, 15-13 as Wilkinson just lost a couple of key points in the games.
Reivers Jordan Reid secured the Only victory for the Borderers with a fantastic 3-0 victory over former Abercorn Club Champion Martin Browse. Reid has a 100% win record this season and could prove to be a key player for the Reivers.
In the Top Seeds match, Abercorns Senga MacFie beat Adam McKay 3-0. The Reivers usual top seed Tony Elliot was unavailable this tie but was ruing his absence as he is looking for revenge over Mac Fie from last seasons 3-1 loss.
