On a fine, sunny day, Victorians played The Engine from Chiltern in Round Four of the EPA Club KO competition on December 21st.
In previous fixtures Victorians had "walkovers" in Rounds 2 and 3 so felt fairly confident with a home match, but in the first round triple the open trio of Tupsy Leckraj, Andy Wilmot & Ritesh Lungut were fannied!
However, in the mixed triples, Brenda Wilmot, Simon Doble and Seetahul Dinesh won 13-12 in a marathon which lasted 1 hour 50 minutes.
Engine won two of the doubles games and Victorians won the mixed doubles (13-2).
In the third round Wilmot, Leckraj and Lungut reversed their first-round loss, winning 13-0 and bringing the total games to three-all. Unfortunately, in the deciding game of mixed triples, Victorians were unable to repeat their first-round win, and lost 13-6.
It was a match of mixed fortunes against a very strong Engine team who could possibly be the final competition winners.
