Captain's Reports
Mens First Team ....Firstly a big thanks to all participants that contributed towards the 1st Teams promotion to Division 3. After a perfect start to the season we had a few hiccups in the middle but finished strongly. We were unfortunately just piped at the post, as on equal points, but lost on the number of sets to Penketh. Rob
Men's Second Team ....It was an interesting season for the Mens 2nd team in Div 5 with a number of close matches where the sides were evenly matched and the result could have gone either way. In the end, the team won 3, drew 1 and lost 12 matches finishing bottom of the league table. The highlight was probably the final match away against the team at the top of the league when all players performed well to record a 6.5-5.5 win. One factor probably influencing results was the need to play many different pairs (18 in fact) during the season due to player non-availability for different reasons. We will try to address this issue next season. Thanks to all who played so enthusiastically for the team. Keith
