East Glos won through to the finals of the national inter-club veterans’ mixed doubles tournament with a hard fought victory over Walmer Club from Kent on 4th October.
It was not all plain sailing for East Glos as their second pair of Marie Bell and Steve Evans survived 3 match points in their first match before winning in a third set tie-break 13-11. The first pair of Lucy and Neil Howitt were in superb form and never looked threatened in two straight set victories, and with Marie and Steve winning their second match, it was all wrapped up with a 4-0 win.
The team will now face either Wimbledon or Formby from Liverpool at the finals in Dudley on November 21st.
