IT was a big week for Nomads Tigers, in division two of the Clacton and District League, with the relegation-threatened side chalking up their first victories of the 2014/15 campaign.
John Marshall, an ever-present for them this season, stayed unbeaten as the Tigers unexpectedly defeated fifth-placed Windsor Owls 6-4.
Kai Hoang and Eric Lemke each contributed a point, with Marshall and Lemke sealing the success by taking the doubles.
The Tigers consolidated their position by defeating fellow strugglers Nomads Jaguars 8-2.
Marshall and Lemke each won two, with Daryl Lott staying undefeated.
These two results moved the Tigers out of the relegation places for the first time this season.
The Jaguars are now rooted to the foot of the table and their cause was not helped when they suffered a 6-4 reverse at the hands of Windsor Harriers, who took all three matches that went to a decider.
Reserve Roger Hance won three for the Jaguars while there were two each for Windsor’s Ferdy Rodriguez and Jenny Higgins.
