Goodrich ‘C’hasers made the short journey to Woolhope on Monday, June 17th to play their C team.  The strong partnership of Carolyn Riddell and Kayla Coopey got off to a flying start when they recorded their best win yet, taking their first rubber 6-0 / 6-2 against the Woolhope first pair. However second pair, Karen Hawley and Ros Wadsworth, had more of a challenge on their hands after winning the first set 6-4, but losing the second set 4-6. 

The third set then went all the way to a tie-break which was eventually won by Woolhope. After the change-over, Carolyn and Kayla showed their strength and excellent shot selection by again only dropping two games in their second rubber, this time 6-1 / 6-1.

In a repeat of their first rubber, Karen and Ros took the first set, this time 6-2, but could not capitalise on their lead and again saw the second set slip away, 3-6.  So one set each, and the third set again going to another tie-break, with Woolhope again coming out on top.  Although equal on rubbers, two apiece, ‘C’hasers had the all important extra sets, which means they got a winning draw, and keeps them in top spot of Division 6 West of the H & W Ladies Summer League.

Their next match is on Thursday, 27th June when they play Wellington Ladies away.  For more information about Goodrich Tennis Club,  please contact:  [email protected] or visit the website: www.goodrichtennis.co.ukSee this week’s paper for more stories like this, available in shops and as a Digital Edition now.
