Marauders Amanda &amp; Tom started in storming fashion with a 13-1 win against Vickie &amp; Bernard but Minotaurs, Pete K &amp; Barney struck back against Phil &amp; Chich with a 13-10 win to level the games at the turn around. Marauders took the next game to finish 13-6 but again Minotaurs didn&#8217;t fold and took the last game 13- 6 for an honourable draw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">The following day pitted the new team to the competition, Mystics, against last year&#8217;s winners, Monarchs. First blood went to Mystics Alex H &amp; Rob by 13-4 against Roger Grif &amp; Mike J. Was this a portent of what was to come &#8211; the Monarchs hadn&#8217;t forgotten their defeat by the then newbies, Meteors, in the opening game of the inaugural competition. Mystics Beryl and Ian Mc put up a good fight against Keith and Wiggy in the next game before eventually going down 6-13. After the break Keith and Wiggy soon found themselves trailing against Alex and Rob, but then the greater experience showed and they ran out 13 -7 winners. The final game was nip &amp; tuck with Beryl&#8217;s pointing &amp; Ian&#8217;s shooting putting pressure on the Monarchs. With the game all square at 9-9, Monarchs managed to pull through for a 13-9 win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">As El Pres said in his post match interview, &#8220;Well done to the Mystics.
