Monkstone&#8217;s two wins were in the mixed doubles where Beryl McCarthy, admirably partnered by Mike Jones, won her first competitive game of doubles against another club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">So onto the Triples where Monkstone needed to win at 3 out of 4 games to take a lead into the second or at least win 2 to go to Caerleon early next year with only a 2pt deficit. Mike Jones had &#8220;retired&#8221; after the doubles and was replaced in the squad by Sean Smith. Unfortunately Monkstone were unable to reach even their minimum target going down 1-3 [5pts to 15 pts] with the established trio of Roger Griffin and Vickie &amp; Bernard Adshead being the only winners. This left Monkstone with an overall deficit of 12pts [25-37] and a lot to do in the 2nd leg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">As usual the match was played in a friendly, but competitive, spirit.
