The match started at about 10:30 am and it wasn't until after 6:00pm that Colin finally lost his epic struggle against Ross. Woking had come to win with handicaps of their team totalling 11 v Surbitons 20 andit is credit to Mike and Colin that they took the deciding singles into third game deciders. Well played.
