Leisure Centre see off rivals to win Scarborough Flooring division one title
SCARBOROUGH FLOORING DIVISION ONE CORINTHIANS A...................4 PINDAR LEISURE CENTRE ....6 This fixture decided who would take the division one title, with the opening three rubbers all going to the favourites and holders Pindar.
Corinthian Dale Symons was involved in a five-set thriller against Pindar’s Richard Dent before losing 11-9, 11-7, 3-11, 1517, 8-11.
Pindar took advantage of this great start with their number one player Ross Dransfield only dropping one set in his three winning rubbers.
Corinthians staged a comeback through Mark Marshall, who scored a fine brace, plus Symons, whose tenacity was rewarded with a four-set win over Toby Waterhouse.
The doubles win by Marshall and Glen Hodgson was merely a consolation victory for Corinthians, as Dent ended with a brace for Pindar and Waterhouse a single for the worthy champions.
ROLO...........................................5 CORINTHIANS A........................5 Rolo brought an end to a very encouraging season with a credible draw against fellow title-chasers Corinthians.
Martin Lowe was in imperious form, taking all his rubbers in straight sets and then partnering Ben Rowe to another doubles win.
Third player Ethan Lowe got the draw by blowing away a shell-shocked Dale Symons in straight sets.
Corinthians’ reply came from Mark Marshall and Glen Hodgson scoring a brace and Symons a single.
CORINTHIANS B........................6 NOMADS....................................4 Neil Raine continued his good form with an impressive treble for Nomads.
Raine’s teammate Gary Connolly added a single by defeating Pete Lee over four sets.
Corinthians reply came from Derek Elliott and Pete Kirk securing a brace each, and taking the doubles together.
A disappointing Lee made sure of the four point win for Corinthians with a four-set win over John Loftus.
NOMADS......................................7 RYEDALE SPORTS CLUB.............3 Nomads finished their season off with a precious five-point win over bottom-placed Ryedale.

Gary Connolly and Neil Raine also scored a brace each for Nomads, along with a doubles triumph.
