The Tennis Lancashire Women's 35 & Over team competed last weekend (2nd-4th August) at Devonshire Park, Eastbourne in the LTA County Cup Event.

The team of Elaine, Barker, Vicky Fallon, Rachael Hyland, Jane Jackson, Hayley Westley and captain Liz Thomas competed in Division 2b against Yorkshire, Cheshire & Nottinghamshire. 

The weekend was impacted by the weather especially as the matches are played on grass. All the teams in this division are evenly matched with Lancashire beating Nottinghamshire 3-2 on Day 1. Sunday saw the ladies beat Cheshire by the same score of 3-2. The final day saw Lancashire take on Yorkshire with the winners knowing they would be promoted to Division 1 for 2026. The final day saw the worst of the worst of the weather with the sets being shortened. Lancashire lost out 2-1 to Yorkshire will both the matches lost being decided by match tie breaks!

Special mention to Liz who was unbeaten over the weekend and her doubles partner Rachael who won all their doubles matches together. 

Well done to all the players. The results can be found here
