Commonwealths TT Update – Day 8

Gavin Rumgay faced a tough match against England’s Liam Pitchford at Oxenford Studios. After taking one game each at the start of the match, Liam pressed on taking the next three unanswered to win 4-1. In the Men’s Doubles, Rumgay and Craig Howieson faced English pair David McBeath and Samuel Walker. The Scots duo pushed each game to the end but lost out 3-0 to the experienced English pair.

Reflecting on the matches, Gavin said: “My performance was okay. All week I’ve battled with the conditions, none of the pro tours have any humidity at all. Meaning that when you try to play your aggressive way, you can’t, which makes it a very different style of game.”
