Having just finished their Winter season, Goodrich Ladies ‘C’hasers were straight into their Summer matches in Division 6 West of the H & W Summer League as they travelled to Leominster on Thursday, April 18th to play their ‘B’ team.

‘C’hasers first pair, Carolyn Riddell and Kayla Coopey, playing their first match together, got off to a shaky start, losing the first set 4-6, but made light work of the second, winning it 6-1. With one set apiece, the third set was a very tight one, going all the way to a tie-break, which went in favour of Carolyn and Kayla. Second pair, Ros Wadsworth and Karen Hawley, also saw their first set go the way of Leominster, 4-6, but they then took the second set 6-0. Again, a tie-break in the third set was played out, and it was Ros and Karen who came out winners.

In their second rubber, Carolyn and Kayla were able to win in straight sets, 6-1/6-2, much to their delight. Ros and Karen were not so lucky though, and would be on court for much longer. Taking the first set 6-2, they then let the second set get away from them, 2-6. True to form the third set again went to a tie-break, and having already been in this position earlier in the evening, Ros and Karen used the experience to their advantage and came out on top. Taking all 10 points, it is a great start to the Summer season for the Goodrich ‘C’hasers.
