Going Well into Last Round, then….

A result that was in doubt until the last round when Bath unexpectedly lost all 4 singles matches. WSM brought a high quality team consisting of a five, 3 sixes, a seven and an eight and it was obvious that Bath would be up against it from the first round of 2 doubles and a singles which WSM won 2-1. WSM then proceeded to win the second round of 5 singles, 3-2. However from that point on Bath held their own, winning the third round 2-1 and drawing the fourth round 2.5-2.5. It was at that point that fatigue or a large lunch set in and Bath lost the last round 4-0. No one Bath player performed particularly well or badly. I think we were just beaten by stronger opponents on the day.
