Maybe it was because slide sun left the players Friday afternoon, but it was not very attractive for the match between Sparta and Wimibledon, especially for the break, when De Boer and Van Male gave Sparta a 2-0 lead, The Dutch tea had apparently refreshed the English guests, because in the second half they showed that they were real Brits, they smelled the chance of a better result and Edelston and Nash made it level. Soon they did not agree with the same, but they did not, and finally, when De Boer punished in the last few minutes a mistake by the English lawer (3-2).
