Mixed Results on 18-Jan For Horsham Pickleball Club
Although we played hard, in our first fixtures of the New Year, the Horsham Pickleball Club came away with a draw and 2 losses during more than 4 hours of good pickleball action.
In the 1st fixture of the day, our D2 Women battled to a 3-3 tie with Brighton. We won the 1st best of three, then just kept trading victories. It really was an exciting back and forth between two very evenly matched teams. We will get another "bite at the pickle" when we visit them on 2-Feb.
In our D2 Men's 1-5 loss against Brighton, at first glance, it could be seen as a dominant performance by Brighton. However, it is clear from the scoresheet that they did not dominate us. There were a few 18-21 and 19-21 scores. Both teams provided us with several exciting rallies and some excellent dinking. We'll play them again, away, on 2-Mar.
In the D3 Women's fixture, we were on our way to a 3-3 tie against Crowborough, but unfortunately, in the final best of 3 matches, after we won the 1st game 21-20, the entire fixture had to be abandoned in the middle of the 2nd game, because it was time for the Sports Hall to close. So, the final score was 2-3 for Crowborough. There were some well-played games and a lot of whooping and hollering from our fans. We'll face Cowborough again, at home, on 8-Mar.
Thanks to the dozen supporters for coming out to cheer us all on our players appreciate it very much.
The final 2 fixtures for January find the D3 Men traveling to take on Holbrook, 7 - 9 pm on Tuesday, 20-Jan and the D2 Women traveling to South Coast on Sunday, 25-Jan for a 12:30 - 2:30 pm match up.
