Goodrich ‘D’ynamos played host to top of the table promotion seeking M.C.S. ‘B’ Ladies in Division 6 of the H & W Winter League on Saturday, March 23rd, the final match of the season for both teams. With conditions perfect for tennis, Goodrich first pair, Shani Courtney and Debbie Trigg, were slow to get started and saw the first set go M.C.S.’s way, 0-6. The second set was more evenly balanced and at 4-4 it could have gone either way, but the more experienced M.C.S. pair were able to break serve then serve the set out, 4-6. ‘D’ynamos second pair, Karen Hawley and Ros Wadsworth, had a very close battle in their first rubber, and were disappointed to lose the first set on a tie-break, 6-7. Although Karen and Ros played some excellent tennis in the second set, again it was the M.C.S. pair who tasted victory with a 4-6 win.

It was a busy Saturday afternoon at Goodrich Tennis Club as no sooner had the match finished than members were turning up to play social tennis, mingling with the match spectators.See the full story in this week’s edition of the Ross Gazette, or subscribe to our online edition here
