Two wins from two games now for the Market Inn as they travelled to Deal and won 4-2 against the Magnet B.  Rob Robertson (2390) gave the Magnet the lead, before Dave Carliell just defeated Tanya Philpott 2260-2080.  An excellent win 2810-2350 for Steve Philpott against Craig Carlson re-established the Magnet lead, as Philpott was trailing throughout most of the frame but determinedly overcame the deficit.  The Sandwich side needed to win all three doubles to take the match and did just that as Carlson & Carliell (2270) and then Carlson & Gareth Butcher (3650) won.  The final doubles saw Butcher & Carliell beat Tanya & Steve Philpott 3060-1930 for the match victory, and for Dave Carliell it completed an
excellent evening as he won all three of his games, including significant breaks in the first two.
