On Sunday, 10th February, Goodrich ‘C’hasers travelled to Ludlow to take on top of the table opposition Ludlow Castle ‘B’.

Experienced first pair, Kim Martin and Carolyn Riddell, quickly got into their stride, and the Astro surface suited their style of play as they took the first rubber 6-2/7-5. Meanwhile second pair, Kayla Coopey and Katie Hunt, were not so keen on the surface as they saw the first rubber go the way of Ludlow Castle, 3-6/1-6.

With one rubber apiece, it was Kim and Carolyn who again came out on top in the second rubber, this time winning it 6-4/6-4. Although Kayla and Katie battled hard in their second match they were unable to overcome the Ludlow first pair, eventually conceding to them, 3-6/2-6.

With two rubbers apiece it was time to count back the games, and as Ludlow had won five more, they got the winning draw. The ‘C’hasers still remain in third position in Division 5 of the H&W Winter League. Their next match will be on Sunday, 10th March, away to Bodenham.See this week’s paper for more stories like this, available in shops and as a Digital Edition now.
