As always a well contested match between these two strong teams, both striving to top division 1. A match so close and well fought that it's fitting to give it it's own post!

​After the first round of matches, Frome took a 2-1 lead, which included their second pair taking a tie against Chippenham's first pair 18-21 23-21 21-19.

In the second round of matches all three required three ends to decide the winners which had spectators from both teams of the edge of their seats! Chippenham 23 equalised the score line to 3-3.

It was all to play for going into the third round of matches. First to finish was the 3rd pair crunch match which was taken by Frome, followed closely by the second pair tie which Chippenham 23 claimed. It all came down to an exciting tie between the number 1 pairs from both clubs. The match score was 16-21 21-16 22-20 in favour of Chippenham 23.

This meant that Chippenham 23 ran out winners with a 5-4 win. Many thanks to our spectator support in the form of Cait and Joe, and to the Frome players for a great match. We look forward to clashing twice more before the season's conclusion!
