Having lost the first match 3-2 against Lings 5 despite strong 3-0 wins from Kevin Loomes and Andy Seaward at 1 and 2 respectively, Northants 3 turned the tables with a 3-2 win away at Kettering Rugby 6 this week.  Jon Cook playing his first team match had a good game but went down 3-0 to a stronger player at no 5 and LIn Leach (4) snatched defeat from the jaws of victory having been 2-1 and 7-3 up in the fourth game but lost concentration and the match 3-2.  Barrie Dowsett was in good form and had a convincing 3-0 win then Kean Williams, also playing his first team match, went on at no 2.  A fast and furious battle had spectators exhausted simply watching both players hurling themselves around the court, but Kean began to pull off a few unexpected drop shots and soon had the upper hand winning 3-1.  Last on was Earl Harrison who looked the stronger player winning the first game 9-1 but Earl likes to keep us guessing so the next two games were close before he took command again to win 3-1.  Those looking forward to the selection of real ales at the local hostelry where the team have previously gone to eat after matches were disappointed to find the catering now at the club but at least we came away with our first win of the season.
