After an attritional weekend of matches Nigel O’Hagan beat Paul Kettle in the ‘B’ Grade final.
Nick Wood reports:
“Nigel showed glimpses of his younger years, sliding the ball effortlessly over the net while gliding from corner to corner to retrieve the tenacious shots of his opponent. I would say that it was a well chosen plan by Nigel, but we all know that he can’t play any other way. Paul dug his heels in, not willing to let his opponent have it all his own way, but Nigel made sensible choices especially on return of serve: rather than returning the backhand ‘Drag’ serve of Paul’s (which has many an opponent pulling their hair out) on the volley, he allowed it to come off the back wall and then stroked the ball into the corners. The match was a well fought affair: congratulations to both for playing a competitive game in such a sporting manner.”
