Drumchapel F 2:7 SATTC
SATTC 5:4 Brunswick B
Tues Feb 19th - Drum F 2:7 SATTC
Much closer than the result would suggest. This was a potential "banana skin", so SATTC were delighted to come away with a 2:7 victory. Drum F new boy Basil is a class act and easily dispatched Gary and Jago without losing a set, however Pierre out-thought his opponent to win 3:1.
A much improved Connor proved a sterner test for the Ayrshire lads this time round managing to take a set off Jago.
Duncan must be one of the most improved players in the division and took 1 set off Jago. His match with Gary was a 5 set battle which could have gone either way with experience overcoming youth this time round.
Thurs Feb 21st - SATTC 5:4 Brunswick B
Brunswick started the match without losing a set in the first 2 games. Liam was in fine form against Jago as was Alister beating a below par Gary.
"El Presidenté" (aka Paul Morris) to the rescue with 3 fine wins, only losing 1 set to Liam. Jago steadied the ship with wins over Alister and Graham. But disappointment for Gary who failed maintain recent form and although coming close to taking Graham to a 5th, failed to register a point.

Busy week in 2 Cup Competitions
SATTC achieves 2 good wins in the Division 2 and Handicap Cup competitions.
On Tuesday 12th Feb, Pierre, Jago and Alan made the trip to Caley Uni to play GSC C. The first game between Jago and Victor Kagima was the game of the match, with Jago winning 11:9 in the 5th. This paved the way for a convincing 5:1 victory for the Ayrshire outfit. An exciting tie against Drumchapel E awaits.
2 days later and SATTC (Pierre, Jago and Gary) host Garnethill A in the Handicap Cup. Gary played his best of the season so far with convincing wins over Joe and Tony. Man of the match was John Melone who was too strong for all the SATTC players, but nonetheless this was a very convincing win against a team playing in a higher division and a good indicator as to how SATTC could fair in D1 should they gain promotion. Final score SATTC win by 42 points.
