GOODRICH 'A'TTITUDES CREATE A STORM OF THEIR OWN

 

On a weekend without a storm in force, the Goodrich 'A'ttitudes travelled to Worcester to play their penultimate winter league fixture. First pair, Steph Howell and Cheryl Mordecai, had a tight first set against the Worcester first pair but got a vital break at the end of the set to take it 6-4, and a more comfortable second set, 6-3.  Meanwhile back in the clubhouse, second pair Cath Hutchinson and Rachael Wintle had won their first rubber comfortably and quickly, 6-3 / 6-1. The sun and wind which had proved difficult in the first round eased as the afternoon wore on and second round conditions were welcomed by all eight players.

Goodrich first pair Steph and Cheryl, quickly ran out winners against Worcester second pair, 6-1 / 6-0, and returned to the pavilion for a well earned cuppa and biscuit. Meanwhile Cath and Rachael were enjoying the harder hitting contest against Worcester first pair and got a well earned victory, 6-3 / 6-2.  They also returned to the pavilion for some post match refreshments, which included a beer from the bar which opened when the mixed match finished as that had involved the barman! This 10 point victory keeps the team in second place in Division 3 West of the H & W Winter League. The 'A'ttitudes final match will be on 22nd March against Worcester 'B' at Goodrich
