Men\u2019s Division 1 <\/strong>Saturday 23rd<\/sup> April 2011<\/strong> @ Batts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Round 1<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first match involved Ilford and Clacton. Ilford\u2019s Essex 1st<\/sup> team player, Matt Spero, proved too strong, winning all his 3 games, whilst Clacton\u2019s Gary Young and Greg Green were almost as strong, winning 2 games each – the match ending in a 5 all draw. In the other match, Southend & Harlow were also evenly matched, with George Reeves and Kevin Read winning a brace each for the \u2018Seasiders\u2019 and the very difficult Dave Langham winning 2 for Ilford; Southend just edging it , winning the tie 6-4.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Round 2<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Harlow made up ground on Southend, with a 7-3 win over Ilford. Matt Spero won his first 2 games but injured his shoulder and lost out in his final game to Maciej Nakieski in 5 sets, 13-11 in the 5th<\/sup>. Maciej went on to win all his games for Harlow, supported by Dave Langham with 2. Southend had another close encounter beating Clacton 6-4, with consistent George Reeves and Kevin Read both winning 2 games for Southend.<\/p>\n

Final Round<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Going into the final round, only one point separated Southend and Harlow. Southend beat Ilford 8-2, with Matt Spero conceding his last 2 matches due to his injured shoulder. This left Harlow requiring a most improbable, 9 or 10 victory. But with Paul Cummings and Maciej Nakieski winning 3 each and Dave Langham 2, it all ended up, depending on the result of the last match of the tournament. This was a doubles and Clacton\u2019s Gary Young and Colin Stallwood took the first 2 sets and Harlow\u2019s chances looked slim; but back came Maciej Nakieski and Paul Cummings to level at 2 sets all and 8 points all, before they took the next 3 points and the match.<\/p>\n

Southend and Harlow were declared joint winners on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
