To allow Round Six of the Men’s Winter Night Tennis Competition to be played last Tuesday evening it was necessary to find a total of six fill-ins including two ladies.
It was a little disappointing for the competition organisers to have to source the necessary players to help out, however, they were very grateful that these fill-ins came to the rescue allowing Round six to take place.
Everyone enjoyed the tennis and it was fantastic playing in fine weather conditions, and the winning pair for the night were the in form Mitton brothers, Michael and Murray.
Murray was filling in for Rod Freudenstein.
Michael is in devastating form of late and the brothers completely romped in the Round after convincingly winning a total of 31 games.
Their sets were 7/1, 8/0, 7/1, 4/4, 5/3. A fantastic display.
Next best players for the evening were, David Mitton and Pat Hazell, winning a total of 27 games.
David was a fill-in for Danny Joyce.
David and Pat’s sets were 4/4, 6/2, 7/1, 4/4, 6/2, another fine performance from these two experienced players.
Winning 23 games for the night were Grahame Edwards and his fill-in for Rick Power, Katie Mitton.
They played good consistent tennis to win three of their sets 5/3, 5/3, 8/0 and went down 2/6, 3/5 during their other two sets. A good effort.
Steve Bowerman, filling in for Charles Harvey, paired with John Walmsley to win 16 games for the round.
Sets were 4/4, 0/8, 3/5, 5/3, 4/4. Good job.
Thankfully Sally Mitton came to the rescue to fill-in for Danny Edwards to partner with Lewis Keogh who was also a fill-in for Jim Griffiths.
Sally and Lewis won 13 games for the round. A Great job.
The other pair taking part, Arnold Brown and Hugh Moffitt battled away in their sets but it was, unfortunately, without much luck. There’s always next week boys.
Hopefully we will see less fill-ins to play in Round 7 next Tuesday evening, August 30.
We are again hoping for fine weather conditions to allow this next round to be completed.
Once again many thanks to Sally Mitton, Katie Mitton, David Mitton, Murray Mitton, Steve Bowerman and Lewis Keogh who all helped out this week as fill-ins.
It was very much appreciated and we hope you all enjoyed participating in the Men’s Winter Night tennis competition.
