This minor success was when No2 string Dave Meagher took the first game playing Neil Hide but could not keep pace with his opponent who ran out a 3-1 winner.

Bognor No5 Steve Kus hardly had a look-in against Len Ahearne who had an easy 3-0 win.

Alex Burrows put up more resistance at No4 for Bognor playing Scott Williams but was unfortunate not to get at least a point, pushing the Crawley man close in every game - score 9-7, 9-7, 10-8.

Bognor third string Jon Burley also went down in three games as opponent Chris Sexton had a relatively comfortable win.

The clash of the No1 strings was no better as Paul Butcher lost in straight games to give Crawley a 5-0 margin and 20 points to Bognor’s one.

Bognor’s juniors fared little better in their league match with Copthorne, losing 3-0, and were beaten by the same score in a friendly with Littlehampton.
