Goodrich ‘B’ashers travelled to Leominster to play their ‘C’ team in Division 5 of the H & W Summer League on Thursday, July 18th a perfect summer’s evening. Both of the ‘B’ashers pairs got off to a flying start taking both rubbers, 6-0 / 6-0, not allowing the Leominster pairs to get into any kind of rhythm.

At the change over first pair Jill Brown and Katie Hunt again got off to a good start, taking the first set of the second rubber 6-0, but then the Leominster ladies second pair, Jean and Sally, who had not played together before, began to get into their stride, picking up four games, but at 4-4 Jill and Katie not wanting a third set and a late night, managed to break serve and allow Jill to serve the set out, 6-4.

Meanwhile, Kirsten and Wendy, ‘B’ashers second pair, continued from where they had left off in their first rubber, taking the second rubber 6-0 / 6-0, but they had to maintain their concentration levels against the Leominster first pair, Sally with her slicing left backhand, and Louise who had a vicious forehand.

Goodrich ‘B’ashers next match will be on Sunday, August 4th, when they will host Boughton Park. For more information about Goodrich Tennis Club,  please contact: [email protected] or visit the website: www.goodrichtennis.co.ukSee the full story in this week’s edition of the Ross Gazette, or subscribe to our online edition here
