27-Jan, Final:
Kitchen claims Greenwich crown
The final really was a cracking
match - Alison, after a slow and tentative start by both players,
finally moved from 3/3 to take the first game 9/4. In the second
game Shelley seemed much stronger and opened a lead of 6/2. Alison
slowly clawed her way back in to level at 8/8, but Shelley remained
strong and served out at 10/8.
 In
the third, after a very hesitant start by both players with the hand
changing over constantly, Shelley again pulled out to a 6/2 lead,
and again Alison pulled it back to 8/8, but then Alison served out
stronger to take the game 10/9.
This really was looking a great match and the spectators were
enthralled, but the fickle hand of fate seemed to set in and Shelley
proved far too strong in the latter stages, and with advice and
support from partner Anthony Ricketts went on to take the last two
games 9/3 and 9/2.
A great final, and a shame as is often the case that there had to be
a loser. However, all praise to Shelley for taking the title, and to
both girls for a great match.
