Goodrich ‘B’ashers played their last match of the summer season at home against Bodenham Ladies on Sunday, August 18th.

Due to Jill Brown being match tied, the ‘B’ashers line-up needed to be re-organised with Kirsten Mathews and Wendy Jenkins playing as the first pair against the Bodenham mother and daughter pairing, Sarah and Alicia Williams.

The first set went with serve until at 4-4 the Bodenham pair were able to break serve and then serve out the set, 6-4. A rain interrupted second set saw Kirsten and Wendy trying different tactics by mixing up their game play, but to no avail as they lost the set 6-1.

Meanwhile, second pair, Katie Hunt and Carolyn Riddell, had no such dilemmas as they made light work of winning their first rubber 6-0 / 6-2, and at the same time avoiding the showers.  This levelled the overall score to one rubber apiece. 

At the changeover, Kirsten and Wendy, now playing the Bodenham second pair, were determined to improve on their first rubber result and quickly took a 3-0 lead, but then Bodenham held serve to make it 3-1.

Goodrich Tennis Club give a huge congratulations to Jill, Katie, Wendy, Kirsten, Carolyn and Kayla for a winning Summer season - well done ladies.
