Up against the local favourite, Verma was slow off the
tracks and lost the first game in just 15 minutes.
However, he roared back in the next game with some fine
strokes from the baseline. Angus was distinctly sluggish in
this game and conceded a 10-19 lead. Verma did not take his
foot off the pedal and drew level to take the match into the
third game.
However, the pendulum swung the other way in the decider
and it was Angus' turn to raise his game. With a partisan
crowd firmly behind him, Angus opened a 7-3 lead.
The gap kept widening as the match progressed and
although Verma tried his best to claw back, Angus had the last
laugh courtesy his better all-round game.
