Saturday offered the last match round of the regular season in series 2 at home against the top team Ringsted. A team that has won every game in the season so far.
Skælskør fielded a strong team and made a good start by winning two very well-played mixed doubles. After this, the matches were very evenly distributed between the two teams, and several close long matches were played in three sets.
Before the final doubles, the score was 4-4. 2 of 3 HDs went in three sets. They fought for every ball and despite injured Skælskør players during the doubles, they continued to fight. In the end, all three men’s doubles ended up going to Ringsted, but not much should have gone differently for a different result.
The women’s doubles from Skælskør cleaned up in the end with 2 strong victories.
The player of the match was Emma, who contributed with two great victories!
In the end, it was a narrow 6-7 defeat to a strong Ringsted team. Although they did not manage to take the victory, Skælskør was the first team to take points from them this season. The result means that SBK ends the regular season just below the middle in the series and thus has to play for relegation to keep the place in series 2.
The next game, which is the first game in the playoffs, is January 31 in SBC 🙌
