The Brentwood "A" trio of Paul Cuming, Trevor Carter and Phil Purser were up against the BAE Selex "A" team of Chris Knight, Paul Stephens and Jon Stokes with the match failing to live up to expectations - a resounding 5 - 0 win to the visitors with Carter the only home player to take an end - against Stokes.

SEMI FINALS
Matches to be played week commencing 8th March 2010
BAE Selex "C" 5 - 0 Mountnessing "B"
Billericay "D" 0 - 5 Writtle "A"
An easy win for the visitors Writtle "A" of Mathew Brown, Hector Rogers and Frank Neill who were rarely troubled by Keith Cullen, Alan Wood and Bill Wall with the visitors running out 5 - 0 winners. The match looked like being a close one when the pairing of Wood and Wall took Rogers and Neill to five in the opening doubles - but there the home side's resistance crumbled as they then lost the next four encounters.
SECOND ROUND
Matches to be played week commencing 14th December 2009
BAE Selex "C" 7 - 0 Billericay Sports "D"
An easy win for the top team with Paul Brown, Alby Warner and Gary Hartgrove easily defeating the Sports "D" team of Brian Cole, Mick Joslin and Malcolm Henstock - the last named being the only player to extend Alby Warner in their singles - Warner winning in five. The match was well and truly won when Selex "C" took the middle doubles in five although it seemingly an easy match given the scores the visitors did force the first three ties to four ends and the next two to five ends - so not a complete and easy success for Selex.
Mountnessing "A" 0 - 5 Billericay "D" - Walk Over
Mountnessing "B" versus Buttsbury "B"
Writtle "A" 5 - 3 Buttsbury "A"
Writtle "A" moved into the semi final and had their two doubles victories over Buttsbury "A" to thank for making further progress - Mathew Brown was defeated in both of his singles against George Pavitt in five 8/11, 11/6, 11/6, 7/11, 7/11 and against Rod MacLennan in four while Hector Rogers also lost a singles encounter to Pavitt in three but Frank Neill was the star player for Writtle with wins over MacLennan in four and against Sue Body in three - the home side did at one stage hold a 4 - 1 lead but were pegged back to 4 - 3 before Neill took them over the finishing line with his win over Body. The key to the result was the win for Rogers over Body which saw the visitor taking the first two ends but Rogers fighting back to complete a win in five 11/13, 7/11, 11/7, 11/4, 12/10

Billericay Sports "C" 4 - 5 Mountnessing "B"
Brentwood "B" 2 - 5 Buttsbury "A"
Away wins for both high flying Mountnessing "B" and Buttsbury "A" saw them safely into the next round. Brentwood's Bob Garson, Colin Griffiths and Stan Kenner found George Pavitt, Rod MacLennan and Sue Body in top form and the visitors quickly ran out 5 - 2 away winners with the home side gaining a middle doubles win and success for Garson over MacLennan to show for their evenings efforts. The final singles was played which gave Kenner a five end win over Body but the match was effectively over at 5 - 2. The other away win was a much closer affair with Billericay Sports "C" just going down 4 - 5 to Mountnessing "B" - the home side could only blame themselves in the end as they took four of the six singles on offer but failed to win any of the three doubles available. For the winners Dave Finlayson defeated Dave Kirston in four and Mick Morris lost the first two ends against Pat White but managed to claim the last three and with the wins from the first two doubles (both in three) Mountnessing were one win away from winning with the score at 4 - 1 - Linda Attridge had beaten Steve Nicholls in three for the sides point. The second set of singles began with Kirston beating Nicholls, White defeating Finlayson in four and Attridge coming from a two end dedficit to defeat Morris - score now 4 - 4. Finlayson/Nicholls coasted home in three against Kirston/White to ensure victory for the visitors.

Brentwood "D" 3 - 5 Hutton "B"
Jon White, Frank Porter and Declan Pay put up a good fight against their Hutton "B" opponents of Tony Barber, Norman Feakins and Ron Grief before going down 5 - 3 despite holding their visitors to a 3 - 3 draw after the first six games. The first doubles went to the visitors in five but Jon White over Tony Barber in five followed by Declan Pay over Norman Feakins gave the home side the lead - which did not last too long as Ron Grief defeated Frank Porter and then Hutton took the middle doubles to put Hutton ahead. Jon White then won his second game of the match against Norman Feakins but wins for Tony Barber and Ron Grief saw the visitors move into the next round.
Hutton "C" 4 - 5 Hutton "D"
An enthralling local derby with the result in doubt until the final doubles - the Hutton "C" team of Richard Hayhoe, Mike Newman and Ron Milbourn came out on top in the singles contests - winning four of them with Richard Hayhoe unbeaten and Newman and Milbourn both defeating Joe Bee but it was in the doubles games that the "D" team came out on top by winning all three against Voltare Salvador, Steve Murdoch and Joe Bee - the middle doubles proved to be the match winner for the "D" team as they lost the first two ends but fought back to take the tie in five ends 7/11, 7/11, 11/4, 12/10, 11/6 - so the three doubles victories coupled with their two singles wins was enough for the "D" team to win 5 - 4.
