Fergus Downie, George Hunter, George Brewster and Charlotte Eagles had some great matches and came away with a very creditable 10-2 win.

Katharine Hunter, Charlie Robinson, Lea Frick and Rachel Ward missed out 11-5.

The Senior Ladies’ Seconds travelled to Scotter for their match in Division Four.

This week’s team of Sally Speed and Karen Stott and Di Jones and Cynthia Goodacre won all of the rubbers, dropping just one set between them.

During the week the mixed doubles team played at home against Washingborough, with Karl Sutton and Sally Speed, Alden Midmer and Sue Leggate and Bob Slade and Jane Clark wiining 8-1.

Ten enthusiastic new under eight players joined the club on Saturday as part of the LTA Tennis4Kids initiative.
