As the Intermediate team began to arrive lawn 1 was still being cut, and with another fine day forecast we anticipated fast running lawns.
Our opponents from Cheltenham CC had time for coffee and a chat whilst the order of play and who would play who was finalised. Our visitors could only field a team of three so no double banking needed for the morning session.
The pairing of Kasia and Lynne set a lead with their first hoops of the game and held that place throughout. They both missed some short roquets (oops!) which gave their opponents hope but they still managed to take a win.
Tony who was playing John on lawn 2 saw the lead swing from one to the other but Tony overcame his opponent to take a further win making the score 2-0 to Bath at lunch.
The afternoon session saw three singles games played and all three Bath players took an early lead. Lynne took her game by 26-9 going to peg well within time. Both Tony and Kasia won their games convincingly giving Bath a 5-0 victory for the match.
It had been a very warm, sometimes hot, day and a welcome break before the journey home of tea and cake was enjoyed by both teams.
