Well done to our new team, Ormskirk Phoenix, who won their first ever league game tonight away to Scarisbrick B.  A strong first 4 came in with three wins.  Martin Roberts continued his cup form with a 21-15 win, and Emma Gill and Archie Greaves scrapped home with 21-20 wins.  Finally Julie Brennan battled away to get 16 points.

The second 4 saw John Leadbetter get his first ever win, with a kitty winning 21-13 performance. Margaret Greaves followed her husband’s close win with a 21-19.  With Pauline Snelson going down 21-15 and Graham Finegan losing 21-8, despite a good performance, it was finely balanced going into the final game, with a captain’s performance needed.  Ian Gill came in with a 21-15 win in a thrilling climax, and this meant the aggregate was drawn 165 points each.  However, with 6 winners the Phoenix took the match 7-4 – not so much risen from the ashes but totally on fire!!
