1st & 2nd Boys' v Haileybury

Result: 1st Lost 8-1, 2nd Won 4-5 

Review: Felsted Boys, both Senior and Junior, travelled to Haileybury for what is always a challenging fixture. Captain Oliver Lane, partnered Harry Gough in the first pairing of the First VI and had a great start winning their first game 6-3. They could not however keep the momentum going losing their next two matches 3-6, 4-6. Luck was not on Felsted’s first VI’s side as they lost all the other games, even the brave 3rd pair of Harry Silcock and Ed Reid lost a closely fought last game 6-8 in a tiebreaker. 

The Felsted 2nd VI had better luck with a great victory over Haileybury in a closely contested game with Felsted taking the match 5-4 in games. Each pair contributed a win to the overall victory with 2nd team captain Cristobal Pohle Vazquez and Charlie Broom taking two of the possible three points up for grabs. The unlikely pair of youth and experience, U6th student Sam Peck and Year 9 Max Haendle took another two of the possible three points against their opponents left the score tied 4-4 between the sides with one match to play. Michael Hiller and Christopher Kaindl, having lost their first two games faced their opposite pair in the deciding game taking the victory for Felsted winning an epic tiebreaker 7-6 and with it the match for Felsted.
