Collapse AllFleet Singles - Round 11 | Thursday 10 January 2019 to Wednesday 6 March 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 6 February 2019)

Very pleased to continue to welcome new members to the Fleet league and it's lovely to see so many of you enjoying your tennis and arranging matches. Several matches were lucky enough to benefit from the brief sunny spells we were treated to in early February, giving respite from the cold, windy matches we were getting used to. Let's hope the sunshine continues into spring and you can all get out on court for more friendly local league matches!

Group Summary:

Another great round for group 1 where there was a very tight battle for the top spot with Richard and Oliver both recording 4 match wins. Richard just clinched it with his victory over Oliver in a tight match, his third win against Oliver in the last 3 rounds, this is shaping up to be a rivalry to watch out for - their matches are always close! Good to welcome some new players this round too and, despite not winning any matches, Gerard enjoyed all his match-ups and was the only one to collect his bonus points . Well done everyone and we look forward to seeing you next time.

Oliver Davey bt Gerard McGinty (Jan 12) 6-0, 6-0

Group Summary:

Great to have two groups running in Fleet for a second round in a row, and lots of enjoyable matches played. Newcomer Richard topped the group comfortably, with an unbeaten run, although was kind enough to admit the score lines in some don't reflect how close many of them actually were. Lovely to hear from Graham that despite "being thumped on the court" he can see an improvement as the matches have gone on, this is what LTL is all about!
