Week 9 Round-Up
Thu, 01 Jul 2021 00:00
It was a tough week for Carlton LTC in both the Southport and Liverpool leagues, as the second half of the season is now well underway.
However, the week started off with a win from the 2nd team. A well fought 10-6 win over local rivals Birkdale 3 has now moved them up to 3rd place in the 5th division. They are now one point off second place.
At Ormskirk, it was an evening to forget for the 1st team as they fell 12-4 to 3rd division promotion challengers Ormskirk 2. After a fairly even mixed doubles, the hosts pulled away in the men's and women's doubles to take all the points. That results moves them back down to 5th.
Wednesday saw an unexpected 4-2 defeat for our Liverpool League team against bottom side East Wavertree B. But with promotion and relegation not happening in this league, the experience of Section C will prove crucial for the 2022 season.
Rounding out the week were our 3rd team, who were beaten 13-3 to 6th division leaders Formby 3. That defeat has moved them back down to 5th in what is becoming a tight midtable.
Thank you to everyone who participated for the club.
Next week sees the 1st and 3rd teams at home on Monday and Tuesday respectively. The 2nd team will be playing at Hillside on Monday, whereas our Liverpool League team will be travelling down to Mossley Hill on Tuesday.
