Just got back from Loughborough Coxy never init, Sean played well although the score line doesnt reflect that but he done alright, Willis was a lot closer but the other guy a some good touches. But watching these matches this week u can see the next level are boys have got to get too.
Owell 2 out of 7 then, we were only expected to get 1 through to R2 tho, so i'm pleased we managed to cause 1 upset. Was hoping that either Evans, Cox or Milton would've caused the upset and only Milton prevailed. Maybe Cox was burnt out after his Israel efforts and Evo was lacking match practice a bit after his lengthy abscence, hopefully he continues he clearly has the talent to be a regular on the Challenger tour with the right work ethic.
As for round two I can see Niland beating Milton with comfortable ease and i am hoping that Ward can cause the upset and defeat Lammer who had a sticky first round match
Hutchins/Murray lost to Ward/Ebden. No idea yet what the score was but this was tweeted by Ross.

4-6 6-7(3). Given that Ross & Jamie are not exactly strangers to one another in the same way as Colin & Daniele Bracciali are, that result is a bit of a turn-up for the books, I'd have thought!
