Ivybridge Home

This match started with a bit of stress because Chris K was at home bathing the baby (literally) when he should have been playing tennis. A panicked phone call and he arrived, fashionably late. Meanwhile our number two pairs had decided to start playing.

The game between the two number one pairs eventually got underway and went on for some time. In the process we won a set (that’s another point, hurrah) but lost the tie break.

That was about as good as it got. Exhausted from tie breaks and baby duties, our number one pair rather fell away in the second match and the number one pair of Ivy Bridge had no problem against our gallant but outclassed second pair.

Here’s the score sheet

Rain Stopped Play

The match on Monday 10th June vs Ivybridge ‘C’ was called off after about an hour due to heavy rain. Neither pair had completed a match so the scores do not count. It will be rearranged.

Match Report : Yelverton

I’m getting reports of a good performance on Monday 3rd June. Seems like the first pair won two sets (the second one a long tie-breaker after reaching one set each). Well done guys ! Also the second pair won quite a few games, if not sets.

Two more points amassed !

Match Report : Mannamead

Mannamead ‘B’, away, 15th May 2019

We played this team last year in division 2 and were well beaten. We were surprised to see them relegated with us. Hence the expectations were not very high. The result was 8 points to them, 1 point to us. In other words we scored at set, which is an improvement on last time.

Whilst on Saturday it was bright enough that I felt the need to stand at the end of the court where the sun was behind me when I was taking the picture…
