The past week has proven to be another good week at Sidmouth for the league teams, writes Kate Truman.
The Men’s B enjoyed an emphatic 8-0 win against David Lloyd C with juniors Harry Ensall and Jonny Surtees making an extremely positive debut for the team.
The Ladies’ B also enjoyed a win against Seaton B at home, maintaining the upper hand in two all-important championship tie-breaks to finish 6-4 overall.
Meanwhile, the Mixed team suffered a loss, 7-2 at David Lloyd.
The Juniors have also been busy this week with their Aegon fixtures. The U14 boys, Harvey Bennett, Ben Harrison, Jed Ionov-Flint and Harry Ensall, won five of their six rubbers at home against Ipplepen, giving them a 10-2 win.
You may also want to watch:
Ipplepen’s number one player was too strong for Ionov-Flint, but, otherwise, all matches were won fairly easily with Harrison only dropping one game in two matches.
Ionov-Flint and Ensall teamed up to win their doubles 6-3, 6-0 and Harrison and Bennett won theirs 6-1, 6-1.
