Champions - Division 7B

Final match of the season for the Men's team was played last night, just one set was required to secure promotion, but our sights were set higher to get the four sets and be promoted as Champions.

With the match being played away at Quorn's difficult clay surface this was not going to be easy.

First three sets saw a big loss and a big win for Derek & Martin, and Steve & Rob respectively, with Colin & Andrew losing a close one playing as our third pair, at least promotion was now assured!

Second three sets saw a big loss and a big win again, but this time Colin & Andrew suffering the defeat and Derek and Martin winning! Steve and Rob also won, leaving the match as a whole squared at 3-3.

Third and final three sets saw Steve & Rob lose to their No.1 pair (who had been unbeaten all season). Colin & Andrew overcome their third pair, which gave us the league title and to put icing on the cake Derek & Martin won to secure the 5-4 win on the night.

Well done to the team last night and to Sam, Gareth & Dave, all of whom have played a part in securing the Championship title!

Oaks Mens team historic 9-0 win

After a hard fought 2-7 loss to a strong LFE team last Friday, Monday's home match against Carisbrooke, with a younger look team proved much more successful. Pair of the evening goes to Sam and David, who in their first match took the Carisbrooke 1st pair to a tie-break, and WON! And that was the story for the rest of the night, one win after another. A great team effort!
