Pennants vs Cottesloe (Harrison).
Top of the table clash, with Cottesloe one point behind us going into this, so expected a tough night. Won the first two sets 6-2 6-1 with Doug. Had a bit of a run in with the fence at one point. Running back to try to chase down a lob I knew I was going to hit the fence so I stuck my left hand out to stop myself while trying to hit a backhand basically on the fence. I hadn't realised the fence changed at that point to a hip high fence on the same line and a higher fence about half a metre further back so my hip hit the lower fence and I pivoted over it until my head hit the upright pole on the bend.
Mark and Ian had a tight battle on the other court, winning the first 7-6 (10-8) and losing the second 4-6.
I then played with Mark and won a tight set 6-4, securing the break on a sudden death point at 5-4 to take the set while Doug and Ian had an easy 6-1 win. Final rotation was comfortable with Ian and I winning 6-2 while Mark and Doug won 6-0 for a 7-1 win overall to give us a nice cushion at the top.
