BATS B vs Builders (Medley) Home
With some extremely close games the 8-1 defeat didn't tell all the tale. Francesca Morton is man of the match today for BATS by a great margin. Her determination paid off in the game with Heather Cooper which was won 21-19 21-19 and which saved the whitewash for the home side. With a young girl Helen Haley in the Builders team and Francesca the same age, they were equally matched and it all boiled down to who was the most determined. Helen took the second ladies but Francesca raised her game again and triumphed in the third ladies. I think their respective partners could have gone off for a cup of tea. They so enjoyed their games that they have decided to team up in the DML junior tournament next month.

BATS A vs YMCA Kitto (Medley) Home
The final 9-0 defeat did not tell the whole tale. Most of the games were very close and two went to 3 ends. Jon & Paul as no 1 men and Paul & Rachael at no 2 mixed were both close three enders. David Wright standing in as reserve also played exceptionally well, especially in his mens games. Francesca Morton, also standing in was very unlucky not to take her ladies game with Rachael Williams to a third end. A very respectable evening against the experience of the top of the league team.,

BATS A vs Tavistock (Medley) 17 Nov 2007. Home.
Amazingly exciting to watch was the No 1 Mixed which went to the final wire in the third end. 21/16 17/21 22/24. Tavistock won by just 1 point overall with the final point score being 60-61. It looks like Rachael Williams aged just 15 and David Harrington will be an excellent partnership. With 2 A team men unable to play David Wright aged 15 and James David aged 16 stepped in and no-one was more surprised and pleased when James David and David Harrington took the second mens game in three ends 23/25 21/17 21/18. The two Davids lost 16/21 13/21, a very respectable score. Ray Northey (Tavistock) was very "impressed"
