The latest outing for Ladies 1st Team will have to be completed later in the season as rain and poor light prevented completion of the final three sets.  This fixture saw two of last years pairings reunited for the first time this season.

Kerry's first game back after delivering 33 lambs was with her doubles partner from last year and the winter Veterans league, Janet.  They started well with the score level at 1-1.  They played some very long rallies and lots of very good driving shots but th...

Pauline and Nikki’s scores were 9-3, 9-3 and 9-0 and Chris and Val’s scores were 9-2, 9-2 and 9-0.

At last, a pleasantly warm evening for a game of tennis.  This weeks our Ladies 1st Team were away at Roundhills in Leicester.

Well done everyone for managing to finish the Round Robin stage of the tournament on time.  Who would have thought it could be so difficult to get four people on a court at the same time!  Thanks go in particular to those of you who had to change plans and even take time off work  - I am sure we all appreciate this.

The results for the Groups are as follows:

Six members of the Ladies team played an end-of-season friendly against Greenfields in Loughborough.  In the end the result came down to the final set with Oaks winning that one to take the fixture 5-4.

The ladies of Greenfields were very generous and gave us a lovely post match tea.

Greenfields are in division 6A of the Summer League, i.e. the other division at the same level as our own team.  We played our first friendly against them at the start of the season at Oaks.  We hope to be able to ...
