Lancashire's Over 35 Ladies Team were in action at the weekend in the LTA Over 35 County Cup. The event, which runs over three days, is held on the grass-courts of Devonshire Park, Eastbourne, with every county playing in their respective divisions.

Lancashire's Women's Team were competing in Division 3A and the long weekend started well with a 3-2 win over Dorset on the opening day.  The following day Lancashire carried on their success beating Surrey in another close 3-2 encounter.

The final match of the weekend was against North of Scotland with the team knowing that if they won it would mean promotion to Division 2 for next year. The team finished undefeated winning 3-1 and gaining promotion.

The team (pictured) that represented Lancashire this week was Janelle Brooks, Danielle Hock, Jane O'Donoghue, Gill Brown (Captain), Rachael Hyland and Adele Pearson (not pictured). A special note is that five of the players trained at Robin Park Tennis Centre in their youth as part of Les Atkinson's (Tennis Lancashire's Honorary Secretary) Development Scheme.
