Jones was dropped/injured and in came the maverick, yet feckless Dyson.
If St. John was the answer what on earth was the question?
Things didn't bode well:

Be in no doubt, this was an end of season relegation dog fight, as Chesham Bois' Oldest and Wisest slogged it out against a Bulls side which had lost it's last 2 matches...
Captain Chris Jordan v Natalie
This was the match of the evening. Chris, remembering Natalie's 3-2 epic win over Mick O'Sullivan before Christmas, was in no mood for a marathon, and set out to win it in 3. Playing superbly, he took the first two games and cruised to 8-0 match point in the 3rd.
That was it; or was it?
Natalie suddenly fired up on all cylinders, started driving low and hard, chased everything everywhere, saved 5 match points , and took the third 10-8.
Confidence regained, she powered through the fourth 9-1, and despite a frantic fight back from Chris in the fifth she won it 9-5.
An inspirational and motivating win to start the evening.....
Rob Ballingall v Ian
Ian was in no mood to take prisoners and set off at 100 mph. Looking lean and mean, and on a warm court, Ian picked up all that Rob could drop and flick and lob, racing through to a 3-0 win.
Richard Eaton-Hart v Jim
Back from a week on the piste, Jim was hurled into a furious encounter with the plucky and competitive Richard. Despite going 2-1 down, Jim dug in and summonsed the strength to snatch the fourth 10-9, and the fifth 10-8 for a great win, and to give the Bulls victory at this early stage.
Aubrey Waddy v Capt Camel
Aubrey's neat drops and disguised drives had me all over the place. Couldn't work out what was coming next... and couldn't work out a game plan... so just chased and chased and tried to hang on in there....to just win 3-2.
Mick O'Sullivan v St John
Mick, a very tricky left hander, took on St John (limp wristed righty), who had stepped in at late notice for the injured Trevor. Lost the first and rallied hard in the second only to go down 9-7, after which Mick took control in the third to win the match 3-0.
A 4-1 win for the Bulls....
The Bull's last match of the season is v Gareth's Super Seconds on Tuesday 3rd April. All welcome!!
The Pig had swine fever
Camel was... all at sea
Coops had spent an exhausting week off the piste and on the girlfriend

And Natalie?
Natalie was having trouble 'digging in'... wasn't she...?
