Team Tennis results
23 April 2018, by Chrissie Martin
We had 3 teams playing in the LTA’s Team Tennis last weekend.
All could be seen sporting new team kit bearing our new sponsor’s logo – Chris Lewis Fire & Security / Chris Lewis Smart Home.
Our men’s first team had a fantastic start in their first match in the National Division having been promoted from the Regional last year, beating West Hants, Bournemouth 8-4 thanks largely to Ben Calnan who won a 2.30 hour thriller in the singles. Jack, Ben and Jon all started their playing careers at the club and it’s great to see them build on the unbeaten success they had last year in the Regional division!
Jack Rooney, Cameron Price, Jon Maskens, Ben Calnan
Our ladies’ firsts didn’t fare as well, losing 12-0 to a very strong Nuffield Health team (cumulative age difference 70 years!). Turning out for the team were Nicky Hull, Gail Buswell, Mary Joiner, Clare Bucknell and Lara Frank.
