Despite the wind and rain the Ross Mixed Team played its second match on Sunday, January 26th, away at Goodrich. There were several discussions about whether to go ahead but the Ross-on-Wye team captained by Sarah Drake, wanted to play as planned.

There was the usual friendly atmosphere between the teams as the players knocked up in the wind and rain. Playing first pair were Jamie Farr and Val Davies, playing second pair for Ross was Martin Davies and Sarah Drake who have had a very successful partnership in the internal leagues in 2019.

Bonnie’s delicious soup was welcomed by the cold wet players during the match tea. Good conversation was had, while listening to the rain beat down on the pavilion roof. Two mixed matches played and the points won have moved the Ross Team up the 6th division.See the full story in this week’s edition of the Ross Gazette, or subscribe to our online edition here
