Our first fixture of the day was against Notts. Will and George got us off to a great start, resulting in us being 2 - 0 up, however after the other 4 singles we weren’t able to capitalise and were 4 - 2 down, despite having some great opportunities in some of the matches. We came into our own in the doubles, winning both the boys doubles and the mixed doubles taking the tie to 4-4. This left the girls doubles, unfortunately the Notts girls proved too strong and we just missed out 5-4.
In the second fixture we played Leicestershire, A great win at 1 for Will Cheer, followed by a solid performance from mixed pair Hugo Hunt and Izzy wookey as well as a great win for Ryan and George, helped use gain three rubbers, but unfortunately Leicestershire were just to strong on the day winning 6-3 overall
In the final fixture of the day against Northants, Lincolnshire came out fighting, we only lost one rubber resulting in a fantastic 8-1 win. A great performance and a fantastic team morale made for a great day and a pleasure to be part of. Thanks to Terry who also helped captain the team throughout the day.
