The weather was good on Sunday 23rd May which pleased the Ross Mixed Team as they travelled to Whitecross Tennis Centre in Hereford for the first mixed match of the season. However, as the minutes ticked away the Ross team wondered where the Whitecross C team were. Some hasty phone calls were made between Captains which established that the Hereford team were in Ross!
The Whitecross team agreed to travel back to their home club and, once they had arrived and profuse apologies were accepted, the match got underway thanks to balls provided by Wendy. Wendy Badham and Rob Pye dropped only one game in their first match. On the next court Val Davies and Jake McDonnell also won in straight sets despite some lovely backhands from Laura playing for Whitecross.
After the switch over Wendy and Rob were taken to a tie-break by the Whitecross first pair, but managed to clinch the tie-break. Jake and Val had finished their second rubber with a straight sets win. The weather had changed to rain, but the Ross team travelled home satisfied with a good 4-0 win.
