Match :
The Drive I v Brampton I
Tuesday 6th June at home
Squad :
Aga and Ellie
Emma and Katy
Simone and Stephanie
Result:
Win for The Drive 18-6
Despite a rain filled and very blustery day, the match went ahead.
With 2 false starts due to the rain, we finally managed to play all the sets in reasonable conditions.
The courts had drained quite well and although the balls were fairly heavy, there was very little spray and even some sun!
This is a team who we has previously beaten us comfortably and so we were prepared for a competitive match.
Aga and Ellie ( even with an ankle sprain) won all their sets and were an excellent first pair. They are very powerful players and there are probably not many pairs in the division who will beat them.
Emma played her first match this season. This was a new partnership with Katy and they played very well together holding off 4 match points against them to win one of their sets.
Steph and I – who know each other’s game pretty well (!!) enjoyed some great tennis and we just missed out on winning a third set.
A very friendly team, good sportsmanship throughout the evening, good food…
Well done to all.
Simone Posner – Captain
