Junior club members Ashtey Pauls, Miriam Chapman & Adam Drysdale all contributed significantly to the 6 – 2 win against Winchester B on Saturday 25th April. In the first league match of the 2009 summer season, the three young people played fine attacking tennis to impress the opposition with their talent.
In the first round of mixed doubles, all four Littleton pairs won their matches – albeit with one pair taking just a bit longer than the others to take the victory! However, in the second round of matches, the Winchester ladies’ second pair despatched the Littleton opposition quite quickly while the ladies’ first pairs became engaged in an extended battle lasting two and a half hours. The experienced Winchester first ladies’ pair refused to give up even when 1-4 down & 0-3 down and held out, eventually to win in three sets: 6-7, 7-5, 7-5.
In the men’s matches, Ashtey & Adam dropped just three games in their convincing win, but Wayne & Chris had to fight harder in their match to win 4-6, 6-1, 7-6.
Congratulations & thanks to all who played – a win against strong opposition and a great start to the season!
