Melton Seniors had a disappointing end to their season, losing all of their last three matches in a row.
The first was at home to a strong Beedles Lake side on 11th September. This match was close, with Beedles Lake winning 5 wins to 3. Scoring pairs for Melton were Bob Luke and Dennis Dayman 2&1, David Bentley and Richard Faubert 4&3, Richard Haines and Pat Lee 3&2.
This was then followed by a loss to Scraptoft on 20th September, played in very wet and windy conditions. Melton lost 3 1/2 to 2 1/2. Winning pairs were Seniors’ Captain Jerzy Schmidt and Richard Haines 1 up, John Squires and Richard Faubert 3&1, Bob Purkis and Joe Carrington earning a creditable half.
The poor end to the season finished with a heavy loss of 7 to 1 at Forest Hill. There were no excuses as the weather was good and the Melton Team looked strong on paper. However, the only pairs to score were halves from Seniors Captain Jerzy Schmidt and Vic Newham and Bob Purkis with Joe Carrington.
Over the season, Melton Seniors played 21 matches winning 8, losing 7 and halving 6.
