Having two teams in Division 6 West of the H & W Ladies Winter League meant the D team played the E team on the evening of Thursday, October 24th.

In the first round both rubbers went to a full third set, with Sue Harley and Karla Morris recording a win for the Ds, whilst Shelley Gwilliam and Lisa Bolster, who had not previously met each other, were victorious for the Es.

In the second round however it was the ‘D’ie Hards more experienced pairings of Sue and Karla, and Karen Hawley partnering Di Webb, who were able to stamp their authority on the match, 6-3 / 6-1, and 6-3 / 6-3 respectively.  Debbie Trigg and Shani Courtney, the ‘E’liminators first pair, were delighted to have taken a set off the ‘D’ie Hards first pair, Sue and Karla, which will hold them in good stead for their future matches.

Having been on court for three half hours, the players and their supporters were grateful to retire to the welcoming atmosphere of The Hostelrie for some refreshments.  For more information about Goodrich Tennis Club,  please contact:-  [email protected] or visit the website:- www.goodrichtennis.co.uk
