On the morning of Sunday, 26th January, despite the dreadful weather, the Goodrich mixed team, consisting of Di Webb, Bonnie Palmer, Steve Neilson and Steve Heard, turned out to host the Ross mixed team, Val Davies, Sarah Drake, Jamie Farr and Martin Davies.  

The first rubber, with the first pairs playing each other, was a very tight affair, with Val and Jamie taking the first set 6-4, but Bonnie and Steve totally dominated the second set, winning it in fine style, 6-0.  With one set apiece, the deciding third set was nip and tuck all the way to a tense tie-break, with Bonnie and Steve tasting victory.

Meanwhile Goodrich second pair, Di and Steve, were slightly overpowered by the strong pairing of Sarah and Jamie, and saw the rubber go to Ross in straight sets, 6-0 / 6-3.

With one rubber apiece but Ross having the advantage of more games, the next round of rubbers commenced.  This time it was Bonnie and Steve who put up plenty of resistance against Sarah and Jamie, but eventually conceded in straight sets, 6-4 / 7-5.

With Di and Steve now facing the first Ross pairing of Val and Jamie, they were level at 2-2 but then Ross broke away and took the first set 6-2, with the second set going the same way, 6-2.

  Everyone enjoyed the tennis and were pleased the match had taken place on such a damp and windy day, but were glad to retire to the Clubhouse for post match refreshments.
