Match report 6 July 2009

As a contest tonight's match drew comparisons with Federer v Roddick with one side always seeming to be on top, but the other never giving in and keeping right in it until the bitter end.

It was the sheer physical presence of the victors that most drew admiration. Jason was on fire and played with the determination of Archie Gemmill, Martin was a heady mix of composure and muscle who went through the opposition like Norman Hunter faced with an under 11 substitute, Pedro played with the strength and poise of Alan 'Sniffer' Clarke and Tom's determination and speed were reminiscent of Johnny Giles at his peak.

Dave, Dickon and Ben needed skill and determination to keep the score to a four goal gap, but ultimately the struggle bore comparison with the fate of a combination of Prometheus and Tantalus.

Man of the match goes jointly to Jason and Tom.
