Mens Spring Cup
Wednesday - 18th November

v
Spalding

Newmarket away to Spalding in the Cambridgeshire super league.

With Bloc party dropping out at the last minute Newmarket only had one game to defend their unbeaten record in the super league.
A Spalding side boosted by some new talent and a home advantage on a court painted very close to one wall took the early lead with Newmarket finding it difficult to gel before Nik Mezanov blasted an attack through 4 to show Newmarket's intentions. However Spalding were able to hold their nerve and sneak the first set win 25-23.
The second set saw Newmarket take the reins and reverse the roles, strong blocking at the net with Paul Freeman and Charles reid saw just enough balls roofed back into Spaldings three meter line and command the set and win at 25-22.
With all things equalled and only one set to play for Newmarket found themselves at the unfavoured end and following a reprimand from the ref were pumped up and looking to win. The score stayed very level early on but Newmarket were un able to capitalise on a few of Spalding's errors and the early lead was undone. Some poor decissions from the setters led to a few easy points fotr Spalding and an un recoupable lead and took the set 25-19
